sissy bar
Hey guys I've been looking around amazon for a fairly reasonable priced sissy bar. I've found a few of the taller style that come to a rounded point not the square kind. But they seem to fit all sportster models except the iron. Any one have any experience with this...maybe having bought one yourself. I know most of the models are around the same general make up so I really don't see why they wouldn't fit an iron.

I just bought a 70s era sissy bar off craigs list. It is beautifully chromed and twisted for $75.00. It did not fit my 2000 1200 but with a little tweaking and grinding where it can't be seen it is on my bike and riding again. Another choice is to find your local custom bike shop, they will build a bar any style and size you like.
The one near me quoted me $60.00 they just want to see your bike so they can take exact measurements. The other plus side to a custom shop is the people you meet and the ideas you come away with.

I've been thinking about getting some square steel bar and making my own. I could probably make a shorty and a long one for the price of a new one. All you need is a torch for bending/twisting and a welder. If not I always like to support my local shops for what I can't do myself. Guaranteed to meet a couple grumpy old guys you can learn from.
