Default Sissy Bar Recommendations Needed
I hate the look of hardware hanging off the outside of the fender struts but a sissy would come in handy for a bag sometimes. Any ideas on one that mounts under the fender struts?

Excellent product, and mounts between the fender and fender struts.

Beautifully made and look like OEM

Seems Top Hand doesn't offer one for the Fatbob according to their website, unless I overlooked it. Seems neither does Dean Speed for that matter. Is the Fatbob really that unpopular?

He offers any sissy bar for any bike - he can custom make one for the dimensions you need.

I agree. I have one on my FXLRS and it's the perfect height and shape. They're not cheap though. With shipping it's $275.
