Default Stainless Sissybar?

hey ya'll, I'm looking for a Stainless sissy bar w/ chrome plate if possible.
Traditional steel and what not just rusts way too easily underneath the chrome plate.
Anybody know where I might find something like that?

not really sure who is doing the chrome work on the parts you are talking about but we coat and strip chrome daily. Have done over 200 sissy bars in powder and i can hoonestly tell you i have never come across one that was so rusted out that it was rusting away. we have seen some surface rust on the welds in the corners of them but that was easy enough to take care of. If you are worried about it you can get a chrome one and we can powder it so you never have to worry about it again. if you want a custom made one i am sure we can make you one out of stainless but with material costs it will be pretty pricey to fabricate. I am not aware of any company that makes a stainless sissy bar (would just be so expensive to produce)

here is the one i did for my bike about 5 years ago





here is a shot of it in action early last year... still looking like new

Default Powder

Your's is powdered though,correct?
I'd be interested in that for sure, but everything in that area is already chrome, so unless I powder a lot of chrome in that area; it just won't look right.
Do the HD oem line of parts tend to have better quality finishes than something from Kury or such? It's all aftermarket stuff failing out on me. Kury stuff rusting, Arlen Ness bars, it's ridiculous!
Just looking for a way out...

100% i find that the Kury chrome is horrible and very cheap! flakes and peels like no other, OEM HD stuff tends to be very very well chromed!

Do you do chrome powder coating?
I am working on some parts and either want em powder coated black or chrome.
Got to get the bike back home so I can finish.
Back rest is one of the things I am making.

Default Hd 52300044

I'm thinking about the HD 52300044 assembly, but it seems like the pad sets too low and that the pad options are too limited... I need to find out what other pad options I have!
