Sissy Bar

Sissy Bar
So what is your opinion on sissy bars? I need a black sissy bar and backrest pad for my new black 2018 sgs. I know the harley ones are great, but have also saw a ton of aftermarket ones out there. My question is, who's went with the aftermarket ones, and how was the quality? Don't mind going with Harley, but if the other guys are less than half the price for basically the same product, why not save the money for other things.

I will say this the back rest pad looks good but underneath where the staples are the used a lightweight staple. Also the screws they supplied
were too short, trip to the hardware store and a $1.50 fixes that. I am happy with it, no one notices.
Came with a simple flat plate for mounting the pad but the nice HD one will fit.

I've got one that came off my 2014 SGS it's HD brand. Decided to go with a full size tour-pak I've found that the cheaper back rests/sissy bars don't have as good as a pad and they don't fit on the mounting hardware as tight as the Harley ones. It's a black frame with a nice pad. If your interested, make me an offer.
