'79 XS1100 Sissy bar with Rack?
I am wondering if it is possible to remove the OEM grab bar and replace it with some sort of sissy bar with rack. I imagine my wife would be more willing for longer trips if she had a cushion to lean against. Any links, help, suggestions would be great!

On my '78 I have a rack/blackest and the grab bar is still there.

It was on the bike when I got it so I can't say. Does not seem like any of the holes on the rack were changed.

Mine has the grab bar removed, but I have a Vetter Tailtrunk, which also gives the backrest as well. I think it interfered with the Vetter Saddlebag mounts rather than the trunk/luggage rack though.

This is as best I have right now. Bike is in pieces so I can't get any good ones.

I will say that the grab bar does at times (especially if someone is sitting pillon) touch the rack but its not a big deal.

sissy bar
This might be too late, but here goes. Luggage racks with sissy bars for your bike come up on EBAY frequently. They usually go for between $25 to $100.
If you didn't order your new seat yet, these also are frequently on EBAY. Hope this helps. Tom
