Glad I found someone talking about the sissy bar! My husband has the Street Bob also! Has anyone tried putting those side plates on that???????????? Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bolt that holds the signal light on goes through the inside of the fender and when you "try" to take it out, it hits the tire. We finally figured a way to get it out, (not without of grunting and groaning and swearing). We had to let some air out of the tire. Got the damn sideplate put on and they gave us the wrong one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had to take it back off! The new ones should be arriving in a couple days and any suggestions on how to put those side plates on an easier way would be much appreciated!

On the Bob, if you don't like the sideplates - you can get the mount that goes under the seat, and has the pad right on it. If you go with the side plates, you can switch out any number of sissy bars.

I got the ridid mounted sideplates on my 06 Superglide and I had it all installed in under 30 minutes. I also didnt have to remove the rear shock bolts. I wanted the quick detachable at first but dealer didnt have it in stock and I decided to go with the rigid,...which was good now since I like the looks of it enough that no need for me to remove it. The sissy bar is a Med-Low from H-D and the backrest is a top stiched medalion.
