I'd like to know if this would accept a H-D sissy bar or would you need to get their sissy bar? I like the mounting system a lot but I already have a sissy bar and pad. Could you measure how far apart the bolt holes are and the inside dimensions of the square holes and post it? You'd be doing me a huge favor.

I was looking at these as well. Do they paint it in denim black? I only saw gloss... Also, I see they have 12" and 16" in height. Which did you go with? I'm looking for one to strap a backpack to.

How wide is your sissy bar? I have this same mount and have been wondering if I could swap an HD sissy on it. I can tell you if yours will fit.

This is what I run. Takes about a minute to swap on or off. Keeps the back of the bike really clean looking with no mounts or sideplates.
