JakesDad1, I take it you welded a bracket on the right side of the swingarm. What thickness bracket did you use? I'm fabbing up a sissy bar for mine and am trying to decide if I should go that route, or axle mount.

Hate to jack the thread but...... Sissybar is mounted with U-bolts to the swingarm (1/8 inch steel welded to the rebar).
Coming back from Sturgis
The sissybar broke above the turn signals,
So I had to create some additional support

+1 on thread hijacking. Didn't mean to do that.
To the OP, I looked all over for a sissy bar, but not being able to find a bolt on that was set up the way I wanted, so I have to fabricate one. Don't know your comfort level with that, but I used 1/2" round stock, heated it up, put it in the vice and start bending.
