I know the one-piece sissy works with the king/queen seats and the $55 sissy pad sold by Harley. Has anyone found other pads or solutions that fit the bar.? Will regular Harley sissy pads fit?

I've got a take-off FXSTC sissy coming from ebay -- Of course, I'm getting powdercoated before it goes on the bike. I'm not going to run the king/queen on the train and don't really like look of the $55 harley pad.

I decided to go with a one-piece FXSTC sissy because I think it looks better than any other sissy out there.

 

the sissy bar on the custom has two screw mountings, the pads for other sissy bars i think have one in the centre and then two near the bottom that fix to the sissy bar with a plate. so you might need to get creative to make a regular pad fit. the customs sissy bar has a medalion in the middle if you carefully remove that then drill a hole, for the bolt to go into the siisy bar fix it then glue the medalion back on.

 

Thanks jf, Had not thought about drilling out the center. I'll take a look at that when the sissy gets here.

 

The sissy bar has a HD emblem in the middle with a screw on each side ofmy 07. If you find a pad that you like it shouldn't be a big deal to change it from a single screw to two screws. They make threaded inserts that can be installed (sort of like pop rivets). They should be available from most autoparts stores and larger tool stores.

Good luck. JB
