Default Sissy Bar Medallion

I just bought a sissy bar for my FatBoy and am looking for a medallion
for it . It has a hole in the plate that seems like where you would bolt one on but all I'm finding are stick-on ones . Does anybody know if they
make bolt on ones and where I can find them ? If not , I'm wondering what the hole is for because it's going to show on the front side of the
plate . I appreciate any help.


Thanks , Bill

Is it for the passenger back rest? I've seen a few that have different spots to move the pad......

I'm having the same issue. If you find something that works let me know. I will do you the same.

that hole is for a sissy bar pad, the medallion just goes on with an adhesive, without a backrest that hole will remain on the front of the sissy bar.

as for a medallion go to ebay and do a search you will find thousands of them.

Here's the problem. An adhesive emblem won't work as the fastener does not lay flush & even if it did access to the screw would be lost.

yes access to the screw is lost unless you peel off the medallion, it's just the way they operate, you bolt on the sissy bar pad, then place a medallion over the screw hole with an adhesive. if something was screwed in prior and broke grind it flush and then put a medallion over it.

Babalu I think your missing the fact that the screw that holds the pad on sits above the mounting surface. In my case the other studs sticking up are not a problem. I can get rid of those. I can be a little dense at times so maybe I am missing something?

Countersink the holes & use countersunk screws. Then stick on the medallion.
