Default SIssy bar options for Fat bob w/ wg rear fender

My parts came in today to do the Fat Bob to Wide Glide rear fender swap. Has anyone added a sissy bar to the mix? I like the one that is tall for the wide glide. I might just fab my own but I would like to ssee what others have done.

I already have the sissybar and luggage rack for my bike in stock form . I never liked the look. Im going woth saddle bags this time. That is why Im doing the rear mounted license plate . Im also going without the fender strut covers.

Can't wait to see how it turns out!!! Please Please Please take pictures of each step of the fender/rear turn signal/sissybar mods.. I'll be ordering a '10 WG fender for my '08 FB in the next couple of weeks and i'm gonna try and do all the work myself...

looking forward to seeing the pics...i'm planning on doing the same thing eventually. a little off topic, but what turn signal module are you going to use? i've seen a few guys use different ones but i don't know pros and cons to any of them.

as far as the sissy bar, if you have the skills, i say make your own. that way you can do what you want.

When I bought mine they had saddle bags and a sissy bar, which I have since removed and stored in the garage.

I recently did the same mod--put the wide glide fender on my fatbob. I think its a great change. Good luck. The first photo's are with the the wide glide seat and then I changed to LaPera bare bones.
