I'm leaning toward the Harley air wing sissy bar, but a little shocked by how expensive they are. Any recommendations or words of wisdom?
i purchased the HD detachable one. Pricey but good quality. I regret not spending the extra dollars on the adjustable one. IMO go for the adjustable one.

I went with a Harley rack & sissy bar, quick detach so also needed the 4 point docking hardware so the cost goes up !

I went with a Ginz Choppers Sissy bar that uses the four point mount (which came on my bike). They also make ones that mount in place of the 4 point. Nice stuff and a variety of options, sizes, styles etc.

No worries. The spitfire is a twin seater & they use it for paying customers to experience the thrill of flying. Awesome sound when they fire it up.

I love the Black hills gold colour, is that saddle bag covers on them? I`ve not seen those before.
