Default Sissy bar

Will a sissy bar from a 02 fatboy fit a 99 fatboy. The ebay auction states it will but I want to make sure before I buy it. It's a rigid mount btw. Thanks for the help.

yeah it should i think.. i think the 99's they switched to the 88" twin cam, so the frames should be the same, and the tires/swingarms should be the same.. it's when you start getting in to the wide tires that you'll have trouble. but you should.. "should".. be good.

Jim's not right about the change..... Softails went 88 TC in 2000...

However.. The spacing on the fender struts for the evo and twin cam should be the same.

I've taken a bar and backrest off my 97 and used it on my 02.
