Where did you get it and do they have a shorter one?
joe1984, I did see that one from harley but I don't know if it'll fit a street bob. I'll check into it.
Countrypunk, I grew up in the 60's and 70's so I was acctualy enrolled in the old school (notice the spelling and with out the quotation marks). As a kid my first ride on a motorcycle was on homemade chopper with a psychodelic paint job and a king and queen seat with a tall sissy bar. So with me it's more nostalgia than anything.
Thanks for the replys.

Like the title says I'm thinking about getting a sissy bar for my '09 Street Bob.
I don't want one from Harley. I was thinking more of a tall round bar type with a bend or something at the top. Something like what you might see on an old school chopper.
It'll be more for looks than for a passenger. I would like to see any pics and some info from anyone with a sissy bar on their Bob.
Thanks in advanced and, hang in there winter will be over before too long.

Hey Bob, Attitude Stick P/N Part # CV8000CV8002. I had to get new mounting brackets too. I had it all PC'ed to match the bike. There are smaller versions, check this site:

That's pretty much right on.I know it's a personal taste thing but to me a tall *** sissy bar on a bike with no back seat just looks, I want to say stupid, but incomplete is more accurate.To really pull off the look you need a rigid frame with a King and Queen seat to go with your ridiculously tall bitch bar.A short to medium size back rest or sissy bar still doesn't look great or even as good as either a solo or two up seat without one but it's better.Note: I just recently picked up a two up seat and a medium short back rest for my bob so feel free to tell me how lame it is when I get it all back together.

bar enterprises makes a king queen style seat to go along with one of those tall sissy bars your thinking about. To me that would be better than a sissy bar with sideplates and a solo seat.

Got one on my FXDC. Looks great, and super solid. I spent a long time looking for a cool sissy bar, and I really think this one has the right look and functionality. (I don't have to sit on the back though!)
