Default Lets talk about sissy's

I am looking for a sissy bar that is cool looking enough to keep on the bike all the time. I need this to be functional (2 up) but not look like most of the Harley crap looks...No offense to anyone with the Harley stuff Im just looking for something with a bit more personality and fits the bike....

I'll go out on a limb and say you might have gotten started off on the wrong foot by insulting - even if unintentionally - 97.7% of the folks on here. For instance, I'd like to help you, but all I have is the Harley FLSTN one-piece detachable sissy bar - which I personally happen to like - you don't, which is fine, but where do we go from there?

In the interests of helping out, why don't you just Google "sissy bar" and maybe you'll see one you like. When all you tell us is what you don't like, it's a little hard to suggest something you might.

No offense intended here either and good luck with your search.

Have we really gotten so sensitive that someones opinion of something really turns to this?? There are plenty of things manufacturers make that I would consider crap. Harley is no different. I didnt realize we had to be so PC in this forum..Damn
