The short sissy bar just sucked all around though. Glad to have a tall one that can actually be used for stuff.

I wouldn't change much on this bike as far as looks.

Yeah not much is going to be changing externally. Going to restore the exhaust back to a stock look with the satin heatshields and SE street cannons.
Most of what's changing is trim stuff and seat choices, like getting rid of the black stuff I dont want on there anymore and replacing it with chrome/silver metallic.
The big changes are the internals to the engine, going with the stage 2 stuff, and replacing the comp ramp, rear monoshock and stuff like that.

Yes. I was able to get the other sissy bar's rack onto it as well.
Debating about getting a 2nd one, one for the style, the other for having the rack on it. But we'll see.

It fits right on the stock dowels as good as the HD one.

The sissy bar looks great. I couldn't find the company Talous71. Is that one of those multitude of Chinese companies on Amazon? Or did you misspell? I'd like to check them out...

I misspelled the name. It's Taous71. They seem to be one of the higher end vehicle accessory hardware cloning companies that makes some of their own stuff or sells cloner's stuff on Ebay.
It looks about as well finished as the harley sissy bar I have except for a few parts. Otherwise it looks and feels OEM quality.

I guess it’s time to put her away for the winter.

Auto tunes for breakfast and line locks for lunch!

Beautiful Car Bike & Steelers towel! Living the dream right there. Think there’s still some time to ride more before the salt hits the roads. Snuck in 50 miles with 60 + degrees weather today
