Hey fergml, no offense but something seems off with the all black headlight. It seems like you need a french ring or visor. PC black of course. Just sayin.

Sweet looking sissy bar. I need one for this summer to pack my crap (bags are over-rated). How tall is it and what's the gauge of bar (or inches diameter)? I'm taking a welding class and the teacher said we can make whatever we want. Figured it would be cheaper and i could make it exactly how i want.

thanks SoCal

Thanks for the compliment. My bar is 14 inches off the top of the fender. Bowman usually does em 16 inches, but they kindly made it a lil shorter for me to my taste. I believe it's 5/8ths of an inch in diameter. They also leaned it back a few extra degrees from their stock offering to my taste.

Check out their Ebay store for details. And good luck making that bar. Would love to see it when you're done.

It's my Slim, and I do love it.

Some of you, I'm sure, will hate on it, but it really does good double duty. I hated the tall windshield so I chopped it down. I still need to figure out the rear directionals.
















What seat is that? What sissy bar? I want to go to Laughlin with my gal. But having trouble finding a sissy bar and luggage rack or sissy bar and saddle bags. Thanks.

I'm lovin the handling. I gonna have to replace my running boards soon though.
I love scraping them on my rides out to the Rock Store. And I love to scrape them making rights when peds are standing on the corner. The sound scares the crap out 'em!
