My sissy bar I made... pos. FS

[Nosboss]

I made this sissy bar so the wife would feel safe more comfortable on the vmax. I got it done just in time for a 400 mile trip and she loved it. I will make more if there is interest in buying them. I know the other sissy bars out there probably look better, but they are not cheap. That is the reason I built my own. I also like a challenge. unk: Pics are from my gallery.

Dude - I think that's Awsome !!! - I was measuring my bike earlier today thinking the same thing - I HAVE to be able to make something cheaper that the $300 going rate for a backrest. How much do you think you would charge for one of yours ? I'm very interested & I know you'll get a lot of interest from others as well. Nice job !

A little bit more info about the backrest... I made it to be removable so the bike can have a mostly stock look. The polished plate on the bottom has two stainless screws that can be removed and then you can access the 4 screws that hold the backrest on. The bar that is on my bike has 4 bolts and nuts that hold it on. All the ones I make from now on will have just 4 bolts and the bar itself will be tapped so the seat doesn't have to be removed to take the backrest off. Then the polished plate can be re-installed and it looks normal(no reflector). The polished plate replaces the stock reflector plate.

As for cost... I will gather my supplies and let you guys know tomorrow.

Totally Nice Work Nosboss.

:thumbs up::thumbs up:

You might want to patten that puppy, then you can sell the rights for some serious coinage!

looks awesome, I would take my OEM backrest off and replace it with that.

Great job! I like it and am very interested myself. A few of my girlfriends :banana:have asked when am I going to get one and yours has been the first I like. I'll be watching tomorrow to see what you have to say. Later

I've seen it in person and it does look good!

Looks really good! The wife has been on me about getting a backrest, but I personally don't like the idea of one being permanently mounted on my bike. I would be very interested in one also!

 

[Jayhawk]

I bet these would be hot items on eBay, given the cost that the remaining OEMs went for.

See there Nosboss...
Your going to have a steady flow of orders once you start putting them out.
Great Job!
Good Luck!

I guess you guys like the sissybar.:eusa_dance: I didn't hear back from my material supplier so I am not sure on the price yet. Sorry. I will get a couple built as soon as I can. I took a few pics and I am adding them to my album. That is exactly how it looks without the bar mounted. Its very simple to remove. 6 screws out and 2 back in. unk:
