Default Cross Bones Sissy Bar

I know some of you guys are running sissy bars on your bones and I love the look. Which one are you running, and did you have to purchase any additional side plates, or mounting brackets?

I've seen the HD one in person and all I can say is, WOW! It looked top notch! I think when I get my bike I'll hang a flag from it.

I have the HD sissy bar with pad and detachable side plates. The only time I have detached it however is when I wash/wax the bike otherwise it never comes off.

Got mine still in the box. Trying to find a spare minute to do the install. Have to put the security II alarm on as well. --One of these days.

I got the stock detactable sissy bar for the cross bones, you will have to buy the hard ware for the mounts, and either grind the sissy bar down a little or buy the blinker relocating kit.

Hey guys, with the removable bar is it just un-bolt a few screws and its off/on? I like the single seat look, and my girlfriend would want to ride sometimes. I was thinking of that Butty Buddy seat and a sissybar with back pad rest.

I also have the stock harley one, quick detatch with no pad. It's great to throw a bag on for trips. I went with a 2nd quick detatch for when my wife is along, she did not like the angle and was more used to the touring back rest. It pops on in less than a minute.
