I built the bars but thicker 1.25",they are modeled off 1" HD hollywoods.
Internal Throttle and Internal Clutch by Exile
The front brake is integrated with the rear on a 3/4" master and double banjo bolt.

I like that sissy bar. But it's mounted to the swingarm, so it moves with the shocks. Correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm looking to do this too.

It looks like it is ridged mounted, but I wanted the swing arm to move. I made some thin metal sleeves at the bottom that the bar rides in. Can't really tell unless you get down there and really look. I like how the rear sissy bar follows the springer angle. The fender looked like it was floating in space without it. I found this cool 1/2 round 5/8" stainless steel bar stock. I got the wide profile look with out having a 5/8" round bar stock.all the way. I think it is the best of both worlds.

No the bar stays stationary, hard bolted to the fender.

forgive ny aging vision then, because I don't see that. I do see a connection by the rear axle only.
Did you fabricate this your self?
