Default Sissy Bar Recommendations?

Hey guys! I've begun the task of shopping for and installing a sissy bar on my 2017 Dyna Street Bob. One that I thought was going to be easy but that has not been the case. My needs might be a bit too specific, but I'm wondering if I'm just not looking in the right places. I'm looking to go old school tall, preferably 22''- 24'', matte black, and most importantly of all, mounts on the OUTSIDE of my struts. I'm finding stuff I like that mounts on the inside but I don't want it scratching up my fender paint. TC Bros. is the closest I've been able to find, but not quite the height I'm looking for. Thoughts?

Look at Ginz Choppers. I have one. It's very nice but they are pricey. I think it does check off all your boxes.

I bought one from Forge. Can be 24 in or custom height. Does come in a flat powder coat. Not sure about mounting, mine is quick release, not here yet. My BIL has one, excellent quality..

Hey, these are really nice! Which model did you go with? Looks like the "Hell Bent." Any idea if the sizes listed are overall or from the top of the fender? Thanks for the link, man. Nice bike!

Yeah I checked out Forge, but it looks like all their stuff is inside the struts.

It is the Hell Bent. I believe the measurements are over the top of the fender. Mine is the monolith height which doesn't appear to be an option anymore. It is 29 inches over the fender. If you have questions I would ask them. When I bought mine they were very responsive.

Another vote for Ginz https://www.ginzchoppers.com/ginz-ch...te-series.html I have had the Devil Tail for a number of years now, insert carved by https://twitter.com/Scorpion_Custom.
