Hello fellow Valkyrie riders, I have a question that I hope someone can help me with, I have a girl friend that would like to go riding with me, the problem is I don't have a back seat, so I called corbin and order a back seat to match my drivers seat, they take my money and send me my paper work telling me that it will be about 4 to 5 weeks to make it, I have custom colors to my seat.  Then they call me and say that they can't match the color of my seat and if I want to pick another color, I told them that it will make my bike look like crap, they said for $125.00 plus the cost of the back seat and back rest which was $640.00 that they could match it.   
I get mad ask for my money back and I'm going to get a Ultimate seats now here is my question, Ultimate seats don't put the back rest for the passenger seat you have to use a sissy bar, now when I got my beetle bags it said that a sissy bar will not fit with the beetle bags, I have seen one picture of a Valkyrie with beetle bags and a sissy bar, does anyone know how much work it would take to fit the sissy bar with beetle bags?

Thank you for any help.

Don't have beetle bags so I can't say for sure but the backrest mounts to the inside of the fender rail so I wouldn't think it a problem.

A friend has beetle bags and a sissy bar.  Doesn't look like anything had to be modified.  However there could possibly be different variations of beetle bags because Ive seen pictures where the rails are absolutely covered by the beetle bags.  So, you will have to decide.  it should be obvious where the sissy bar mount slides into that opening near the back of the rails.  If you can see that there should be no problem.
