Nice to know Harley fixed the sissy bar problem from the 2017 Slim. Lot of good it does me and my 2017 Slim which needs a rear tail-light relocation kit! The one biggest problem I have with my slim is the turn signal location on back of newer model Slims. Cheesy a** reflector should be tail light instead!
Dude Great Review!! I have the same sissy bar and love it. The silver medallion that is in the cross bar disappeared about a month after I got mine, probably not enough glue or something. But I ended up wrapping the crossbar with gray para cord so it looks good still. It definitely served me well on my ride down to SC and back!
Thanks Gonk, One of the best additions I have done. Use it almost every ride these days. Gonna steal that paracord idea. Got 3 inches of snow yesterday gonna try and get the Mavic out today and get some drone footage. Hope it comes back in one piece.
The quick Detach is convenient but I feel like it’s quite bad because for anyone who knows how the sissy bar is installed they can just come up to your bike and steal it
Excellent video. I have the same bar but in chrome. Haven’t installed it yet because I need to figure out what hardware I need to accommodate my saddlebags.
I have the same Sissy Bar but mine is a little different at the bottom where it meets the fender, unfortunately the assembly requires a turn signal relocation kit ( 50 bucks) or there is a hack where you can use a drimmel tool to cope the lower edge of the mounting bracket for signal light clearance ( 2012 Fatboy Lo) and a little touch up paint on the brackets. Fortunately Ima Certified welder with a strong metal fabrication background, so this will be the way I will go. It’s a shame HD did not get this engineering better for the Fatboy because this style of bike and arguably one of their most iconic models that looks very good with this style bar. I’ve owned my Fatboy since new and just now putting a sissy bar on because none I ever saw looked right on this bike and I’m anul as hell, It took me 15 yrs to change the stock mirrors on my VSTAR, something many do when getting a new bike but while yes I could make it look different, it just did not pass the sniff test, did it look better? Sobthe Bar taking 10 yrs to eventuate is par for the course. Great Vlog, thanks!
Hi Tony, I have two questions that hopefully you can clear up for me. you mentioned the kit that you can also use for your bags. I’m looking for the docking kit that works for both the sissy bar and the saddlebags so that I can have both as quick release does it exist? also, if my sissy bar is the fixed, ome part, is there anyway I can convert it to add the quick release mechanism? Without having to buy the entire sissy bar new? Thanks for any help you can give me great video.
I don’t believe you can convert a fixed sissy bar but you can get QR for the saddlebags. Might want to check with you local dealer. It you have the detachable sissy bar already you just need to buy the new docking hardware for the bags. Hopes this helps.
Great video thanks, I have my sissy bar already on. Is there anyway I can buy and install the quick release system ? if so, please let me know where I can get it and what name to look for, I love the system that you set up but I’m not sure if you went to HD. Thanks for any help. Alex.
They should make the sissy bar around the other way so a solo rider can have a back rest I am getting a custom one one made up still clip on an off from down under mate
