I'm looking into a sissy bar setup so I can strap a bag to it for road trips.

The Harley one is ideal in appearance and height except for the fact that its quick release.



Does anyone have any suggestions for sissy bar manufacturers that bolt straight on?

As a side note am I right in assuming I do not need to change my rear turn signals given its a fat bob?

 

I picked mine up from www.tophandventures.com Couldn't be happier with it

 

Oh, hell yea! Bowman Welding/Top Hand Ventures; absolutely beautiful workmanship and a flawless fit. I used their 16" on my Wide Glide; and every time I look at that sissy bar I get a bit giddy

 

Same here. Bowman Welding/Tophand did mine. Local to me, so he was able to make my side plates for my 03.

 

Bowman (AKA Top Hand Ventures) 16" here too. And I can confirm that it is a strong as heck. I did a 12,000km outback trip (including a couple of thousand of rough un-paved gravel roads) loaded with everything tied on it, and it was solid as a rock!

Plus they look great if you like that style (personally I think the vertical bars on the HD one are too wide apart. The Tophand/Bowman has a nice bend near the base which keeps it close to the fencer, and narrower up top). Surprisingly comfortable for passengers too, I'm told.

 

I got one from Slims Fab Farm. Excellent quality and it's all one piece. No docking hardware or relocation since it's mounted against the fender. I believe it was around 150 or so. Also, they come in different sizes it you don't want a huge one like I got.

 

I had a bowman on my bike for a couple of years and when i took it off to change the look. The fender was scratched pretty good where the side plates were at on the fender. Other than that, the sissy bar was well made and had no complaints.

 

Drag Specialties makes a round bar in that style that is rigid bolt on for the dyna

I had a tophand ventures on my sporty and will be getting one for my new dyna as well.
