We all have our likes and opinions and you are entitled to yours and I won't argue with it.&nbsp\\; I went in to buy a detachable sissy bar set and the parts guy talked me into the rigid using this same opinion.&nbsp\\; I found I just really didn't like my bike as much with the sissy bar installed so I wanted to be able to remove it when I don't need it.
&nbsp\\;
Anyway, back to the subject at hand, I was told I would need to lift my bike to do the install as well but I got it done with it sitting on the ground.&nbsp\\; It was tight but it worked.&nbsp\\; Lifting it will make it much easier to access the bolts though.&nbsp\\; It's also a good opportunity to make sure all of your under fender wiring is secured and out of the way of the tire.&nbsp\\; In the first couple of months of owning my bike, a wire got loose and got rubbed in two by the tire.
