Default New sissy bar.
I bought a new sissy bar for $100 and side plates off Ebay for $25 bucks. I love the style WAY more than the current Harley style.

Love the tall pointed ones. Looks great. My next one will be from Souixicide Choppers. Expensive as hell but looks awesome with 1.5” tubing

My Hogworks chrome sissy bar rusted and pitted and lifted off in less than two years and it was kept inside. Not sure what happened to it, but it did not hold up. I'm sure the eBay chrome will be just fine for the foreseeable future. At least he next two years.

I like it. I've had this one for 4 years now and it still looks good. There's no rust or pitting to it yet. Keep it clean and it'll last.

Oh, if it does rust and look beat up I would just paint it.
