Default Detachable Sissy Bar

I have not be able to find a Detachable Tall 22” Sissy Bar that would fit the Harley docking hardware on my 2019 Softail Slim.
Anyone know of any besides the short one from Harley?

I'm having the same issue with my '19 Sport Glide, HD isn't making them yet to fit the 2018+ soft tails. I think HD new parts come out in December so maybe then they'll have something but there doesn't seem to be any way to find out in advance, I found a place that fabricates sissy bars and they are experimenting with a quick-release for the new soft tails. They also have great fixed sissy bars and they're willing to fabricate just about anything you want. Good luck.

Thanks for sharing. I’m thinking of adding one to my 2020 LRS and it looks like they make one for the low rider and I would think the fit is the same?

What year bike is that? The dimensions are different on the 2018+ soft tails. What I'd reeeaaaaalllllyyyyy like to get my hands on is a 22" (or close) quick release or even fixed bar that can still accommodate the double mounting lugs for the saddlebags AND let me bolt the HD luggage carrier on.

its a 2018 FatBob. I bought the stock H-D sissy bar off eBay and modified it. Takes 10 seconds to pop off and swap out with the luggage rack.

Cobra makes a quick detach in round or rectangular that almost looks like the old ones and would be easier to modify than the HD round welded to a flat plate. The HD one is just tacky and cheap looking and the welds look like the Chinaman was half blind.

Ginz Choppers for sissy bars should you not need HD quick detachables. Ginz has detachable hardware but not necessary, I found using their mounting plate would suffice.
When the sissy bar is not needed you remove the bottom hidden allen bolts that attach the bar to their hardware. Piece of cake to remove or re-mount.

Nice sissy bars.
