Wanting to take it off this weekend, but I think it would look tacky if I remove it without taking off the brackets. Any Ideas? Thanks in Advance!

You can get some rubber caps to cap off those rails for the time being, but I would get the side rails without the backrest. I've got a set I can sell you if you want, I just took them off of mine.

Somebody had a neat little loop thing / curved bar that hooked into the bracket where the backrest goes. It only stuck up an inch or so. I can't remember who it was though. Would be a nice anchor spot if you carry anything on the seat.

Barney, I'll send you a picture of my bike sometime, and you can pull it out and say, like Crocidile Dundee, "Tacky? Now this one is tacky."

I think the bike looks sexy without the rails at all, but that requires a change in turn signals...
The S40 rails that were made without the sissybar are a good option too...

The hardware store near me has these little "plugs"... I used them on my Jeep several times.
Kinda looking like that. They worked really well to cover up until I got them fixed properly.
