| | Posted : 20 Apr 2010 - 09:23 Post title : Sissy Bar & Rack | | | Hey all
Noticed this site, looks pretty good
Ive had my bird for about 6 months now, have been fairly happy with the accessory range,
fitted long haul dual seat and twin t bars, feels pretty good.
But the sissy bar and rack set up is not for me , a lil too tall and they want probably too many dollars for it.
Thinkin of something that will suit, shorter maybe custom chrome that has a rack.
any ideas ?

imo - with those short TORs fitted, I'd be doing something with the pulley... CHROME

I have the sissy bar but only use it when I have to.
Here is setup with and without...

As Lee mentioned better with the chrome pulley with the short TORS.

| | Posted : 20 Apr 2010 - 12:17 Post title : Re: Sissy Bar & Rack (Re: paladin) | | | I got a new honda shadow sissy bar (80 quid - ebay with rack) and am making my own quick release brackets. The honda one is much smaller which is what I wanted and it will only be on a few times or when I tour. I just like to make my own stuff. The Triumph bar is of course very good quality which is great if you have it attached 24/7 and work 24/7 to pay for it.

| | Posted : 20 Apr 2010 - 13:31 Post title : Re: Sissy Bar & Rack (Re: mat1600) | | | Yes I have to agree. $500+ is a bit much to pay for a sissy bar/rack. Plus the thing is shaped weird and I can't even fit my saddleman sissy bar bag on it.

| | Posted : 20 Apr 2010 - 19:23 Post title : Re: Sissy Bar & Rack (Re: zolti) | | | Nearly had them made ,then I got the lh pillion seat fitted (much bigger) so in the bin they went and onto mk2. The side panel on the Bluenose Bird is a really good addition, I noticed it first when I saw his bike, just a nice bit of custom. I need to get a union jack on mine somewhere, I like the thought of it being a British product, no offence to the rest of the world but a good brit product is getting few and far between.
Welcome Paladin, hope you get something good from the site.

Yes light bar would look much better shorter. Will look into that mod. Twin light setup Lee (Birby) has gone for is ??ber

 Eight.... Welcome!
Be careful - that Chrome pulley is expensive!
Some other members here have powder coated / sprayed theirs black... I can't remember who! Hopefully they will know who they are and post a comment here.

they can do the whole pulley or just the faces on it leaving the toothed area untouched.

the features and the possibilities of this model are just too much to ignore and as mat said about quality, everyone seems to have a kind word about a Trumpy.
I was out an about the other day another rider said to his mates when I pulled up , hey its one of those bonnes on steroids!
Hell i'll take that

it is more durable than powder coating and doesn't scratch.
