Detachable Sideplates : V-Twin Forum: Harley Davidson Forums

I'm trying to figure out a way to carry a T-Bag and a tent on my 93 FXR. I figure I'd get some detachable sideplates, sissybar, and rack. Anybody know the pn for the detachable sideplates? All I could find is:
53870-01A
Fits '93-'05 FXDWG models. '93-'01 models using these sideplates in combination with Luggage Rack P/N 53711-96A, 53852-00 and 53866-00 will require seperate purchase of Luggage Rack Adapter Kit P/N 53828-00.

You think that's the one?

Thx,
Mike

I think all fxr side plates are bolted on behind all the hardware not in front.

From what I have found is that Harley no longer makes ANY sideplates for the FXR. The HD rigid black side plates are discontinued (52781-82B). Can't find any in chrome either. The only ones I can find are from Drag Specialties, DS-263627.

Anybody know if Harley sissy bars and racks fit the DS sideplates?

most books say 82 through 94 fxr fitment so go to JIREH 877-681-0448 They have fxr kits bars and plates . # 68-106 20" high bar and #68-116 15" bar both have side plates 54.95 Theres said fits 82-92 but most cover them as thru 94 so should fit. on page 11/13 JIREH does not have a great choise but what they have is low priced.
