Default Bummer! My XBones Sissybar is Bent

Bummer! I got my shipment of parts today from Chicago HD: XBones sissybar, passenger pillion, backrest, and docking kits. Unfortunately the sissybar was not packed well at all and as a result the sharp detachable points broke thru the shipping box and ended up with one of the forks getting bent about 30 degrees and all scratched up. Had to file a claim with UPS and they are picking it up Monday. Notified Chicago HD and they did not have one in stock so are having to reorder me a replacement from HD...and probably will take 2 weeks. Bummer! Got all this stuff and can't put it all on the bike for 2 weeks. I don't know why a person that ships things daily would not have wrapped the sharp points with cardboard and foam to prevent crap like this from happening

ouch...I just ordered the LED tailight for my softail custom from them. Guess it's good there's no sharp points! Great prices there though. Can't get my dumb s[:'(][:@]tdealer in Reno to match their price...makes no sense to me. Does Chicago H-D have this sale every winter?

Man that sucks, you would think that HD would have sent you the sissybar in the orginal box THEY got it in...

BTL use a site like photobucket.com, upload you pics therethen you can copy them into your post.

BTL, try this link, because it tells how to do it https://www.hdforums.com/m_834925/tm.htm. Also the sum of all pics have to be less than 500kb. I shrink all mine to 640x480 and have no problems.

fecstasy, theyalways have that sale. I have ordered stuff from them since 1998 and have always gotten 20% off. You are going to like the Led Tailight. I just put one on my XBones see photo.

I dont see why you cant unless the strut mounts arent the same, but you will probally have to get the turn signal relocating kit too.
