I don't like it. JMO. I would definitely have the holes filled if your going to paint.
Then I would rework it to mount to the Fender mounting holes or quick release it
so you can take on and off easily.

It bothers me more that it bolts through that sweet fender in several places. That's just not right.

Totally gay. I definitely wouldn't want something that long mounted to the fender. Doesnt seem that functional. I think if you strapped a heavy bag to it the leverage would damage your fender. I think that bike is gangster without.

A tall sissy bar like that is more for a chopper style bike IMO. Although I would not call it gay. I like it better with out.

First I don't really like the height, just don't flow with ur bike IMO.


Second if it ever gets tweaked, the way its mounted it looks like it'd really mess up Ur rear fender pretty bad.
