I need to put a bigger sissy bar on my 2010 fxdwg. It must have a pad and offer support to a passenger. I would also like it to look good and i like the Old School style but am not sure if they are really functional for a passenger or not. Parts guy at HD tells me no, but hes looking for a quick sale on the MedLow style...

Input is appreciated...

 

I'm using the HD Detachable one. The pad fits right where it should. My passengers seem to like it.

 

Thats exactly what i wnated to hear. Thx.

Its quick release too, right? So what else is needed?

Sig relocation?
Sideplates?
Quick release kit? (does this mean i can get quick release saddle bags easily?)
Tbag type bags fit on sissybar?

thanks!!

 

I've got one of these, from Khrome Werks. Does the job, ol lady doesnt bitch.

 

Same here: See sig. pic.

 

Is that Kromewerks one detachable? Do either of you guys have any feedback from passengers?

 

I ran the Khromeworks style. Looks the best IMHO, but I had a serious issue with it. If the wife leaned back too hard on the thing, the sissy bar pad would push threw the sissy bar and start to pop out of the back. I tried everything to fix this problem because I liked it so much. Nothing worked. Eventually I had to go with a different sissy bar all together. I could NOT recommend the round stock style bar to anyone who runs a passenger.

 

Mine is custom, fabbed by a local indie. It's permanent and doesn't have a pad but my passengers tend to lean forward against me.

 

The bar itself works with HD style side plates, so you can do a rigid mount or detachable.

As for the pad, ol lady says its comfy but we also have had some problems with it not staying on the bar. Tweaked the mounting plate on the pad a few times and it seems to be good now. I believe www.phatperformanceparts.com has the best price on the bar.

 

No black version on the Krome works one. I need black so maybe i'll go with the HD one...
