Default First "Mod" is done!

Had my bike for a few months but haven't really had the money to buy any cool stuff for it. For my 30th birthday I got some money as presents from a few people so I went to the dealer to look at some fun crap to buy. I've been wanting a sissy bar for a while but wasn't really sure what kind I wanted...
Until I saw this one. Just jumped out at me.
Really cool design, super easy install, comes off and goes on very quickly, and feels really solid when it is on.
Here are a couple of pics.



I also bought a cool looking backpack on Amazon that I plan to modify so I can strap it onto the sissy bar.
Here's the bag I bought.

I think you're safe Rog. No one would ever confuse your bike with mine. Though yours is probably my favorite bike on the entire forum.
On an unrelated note, what kind of bars are those and where did you get them.

Hahahahahahahaha.
(just kidding)

If it makes you feel any better I plan on strapping mine on so it faces forward.

I've been wanting one of those too, I have a "medium low" sissy bar now, but 9 times 10 I'm only using it to strap my bag to.

Does it attach with the standard quick detach hardware? Are the side plates part of the rest of the bar?

The bar is all one piece including the side plates. As far as the docking hardware I'm not sure if it's standard or not. I could take a couple of closeups for you if that would help but I won't be able to until Monday.

That looks like the standard quick detach bar from the pictures.

On a side note I wish I had gotten mine in black. Anyone willing to trade?

I have that sissy bar, for it to fit on my 2007 sportster, i had to grind off the plastic on the docking hardware since the sissy bar side plates were too wide. Great sissy bar thought
