Anyone got a Motea Sissy Bar on a Street Bob?
Hi,
I bought a Motea Sissy bar from a friend, but they have lost the bots and spacers.
It looks like they make one size sissy bar for all and issue spacers and bolts to make it fit different models.
I have reached out to buy these from them, but they wont sell the bolts and spacers!!
Does anyone know the length of the bolts and size (particularly the depth) of the spacers?

Buy the size bolts you need and cut your own spacers from aluminum.
You could use nylon spacer washers as there's no downward pressure on the spacers
it's all on the bolts. Like these, cut your own.

Thanks for your answer, but I dont know the length of the bolts to begin with. I know the thread and width, but not the length. Here in the UK imperial nuts are SUPER hard to get hold of and I will only be able to mail order then, so wanting to get the right size. Motea are a complete waste of time and have refused to let me buy any. The spacers are less of a worry as they are out of sight and I can stack thick washers if need be.

Present the sissy bar on your bike, check how much space there is on both sides and measure this. Remove the existing bolts, measure them and add the previously
measured distance and lets say add another 10mm extra and you're done.
