I bought a stash of new and used parts from a dealer and included was this 12 (short version) OEM chrome backrest in excellent condition for the small-spool soft bag 111 bikes from 2014 - 2018: the Chief, Classic and Vintage (Dark Horse versions of those models too). Your spools must have the black plastic sleeves installed. Will not fit 2019 - 2020 Chief Vintage or Classic unless you install small spools.
The chrome backrest is in excellent shape with no visible rust, not bent, no road rash. Would look great on a brand new bike. The luggage rack has been lightly used, no damage but maybe some very light marks from regular use, see last pic. The desert tan leather pad looks almost new. Included are instructions and the oft missing tamper resistant screws for theft prevention. Remember, these are all genuine OEM Indian parts, see logo in cross bar. I would much rather have used genuine Indian parts than new aftermarket parts made in China. For example, the genuine Indian luggage rack weighs 3 lb, 13 oz but the aftermarket one weighs 2 lb, 13 oz. The Indian part weighs 1 lb more which is 35% heavier stronger?The OEM Indian pad has hidden staples, smoother stitching, flush studs and actual desert tan as opposed to the import with exposed staples, rippled bumpy stitching edges and studs that look like they are falling out.
