Default This is why I "need" a big sissy bar.

People alwYs ask me why I need such a tall sissybar. For one, I like the look. But it is also functional. I've carried tiles, dog food, and much more. I hate driving, so whatever I can fit on the bike (without damaging anything) comes along for the ride.




Yea I know I use a **** load of ratchet straps, but hey, that ****er stayed on the whole way home.

I'm not really sure about trailer ing with my lrs. I mean it's gotta change everything about how you ride right? I've heard a lot of arguments about whether or not it's safe to tow and how much weight, but never tried it myself.

Me neither but I have a mate who goes to all the bike rallies, and his trailer is a coffin, and the nutter sleeps in it.

That might be a little overkill on all those tie down straps

I bet your fuel mileage sucks when you strap a door to the sissy bar. I also bet you don't care since it still beats taking the car.

I wonder how big of a pet door I need for my 2 beasts. They are as big as they get.
