I say yes. Shouldn't be any farther back as a tourer seat. Width should also be the same. My Mustang seat is a little wider then oem and all fits.

Not if the IS trunk is still on the bike.
If you are talking about removing the trunk and going with a tourer/std rear end on an IS, then yes a sissy bar should mount up, although the IS OE seat is one-piece fore and aft and the tourer/std is two-piece.
The question I wonder about is whether an IS one-piece seat will mount up on a tourer/std with a sissy bar?

No,because the seat on an IS needs the trunk to
lock the back down. The tourer and standard use
the same bolt that locks the fender halves together
to mount in the rear.

Yes it has them for shocks just like all the rest.
All that is different is the mounting bolts for trunk.

I don't use good terminology sometimes...  Interstates have 13 & 14 ?  I thought the grab rails were different, and you couldn't even bolt a 13/14 onto an Interstate... -Mike "don't have an Interstate..." |

The I/S rails do not have the mounts for a sissy bar you will have to put on tourer or standard rails.

Someone a while back built an adapter to fasten a stock tourer bar to the I/S bolts that mount the trunk rails. I was gonna build one but never seemed to get the time. He did a nice job on his and had it chromed it looked like it came from Honda  . |

To each their own and everything, but I don't see any upside of removing a trunk with wrap around passenger backrest/armrest with speakers to a standard/tourer backseat with sissy bar/pad.
I do see having a convertible supervalk (or permanent like mine), for purely solo riding. But if you need a back seat for a passenger, what is the benefit of losing the trunk/backrest/speakers in favor of a sissy bar?

I ride solo 99%, and I like the look of the Super Valk...my thought was now that my son is older and can reach the rear pegs, I could throw the back rest on and take him for a couple of short rides...I did not do the quick connect for the trunk...becuase I only have it on for longer rides...and I always do the maintenance so while i am there...

OK, I can see that.
Easy enough to throw on the rear seat on the supervalk to take him for a ride, but not so safe without a sissy. Problem is the IS vs std/tourer rear fender struts.

Yep, checked them out at the stealer, would need to replace the side rails...might get a new set and add the addition bolt location to allow it...
thinking about it...

Here's a cheaper solution.
Add the passenger seat (and rear pegs). Don't mess with the fender struts or sissy bar, just have your son wear a good quality belt and thread it thru the rear of your good quality belt. With the tension/length set correctly, no matter how hard you goose it, he cannot go off the back. However, if you fall off he's going with you, and you have to unhook to get off the bike.

I bet after a couple times getting yanked off the bike when Dad gets off, the kid will learn to unbuckle it quickly enough when the motor shuts off.  Joe |

I believe the distance for the mounting bolts for the trunk brackets are slightly wider than those need for a standard sissybar... I could use some actual measurements...I will measure my IS mounting points in the morning. |

Interstate rails:
Standard rails:
They're in a different configuration, but the bottom pictured Interstate and upper pictured Standard correspond.
The tabs on the Interstate rail that are absent from the Standard rail are where the trunk mounts connect.
You may notice the Standard is marked for conversion to use with an Interstate trunk. The straight line across the backrest support plate near the top is the portion that would be cut off and moved forward to serve as the forward tab for the trunk mount. The curved line is what would need to be cut away to allow the trunk hardware to pass above the plate. The X near the bottom of the plate is the position of the hole needed to serve as the rear tab for the trunk mount. |
