Title: sissybar fabrication
Post by mayor4u on 05/19/12 at 17:49:02

welp started and actually finished the sissybar today turned out nice i think, ive posted some pics in case anyone had a thought on building or buying one, this one is made from 1/2 x 1/2 solid hot rolled stock, with 10 gauge side plates, roughly 18 bucks in materials and 8 hours of time.....

nice job man looks good, i was trying to figure out how i can make something like you have done here but with a quick connect/disconnect for when the wife wants to cruise with me. very well executed.

Is that enough weld to hold the weight of someone leaning on it?

to renegade 1 yes, what you could do in that case is rather than weld the sissybar material to the sideplate as i did, simply weld some hollow square tube 2-3 inches (ala harley) and slide the sissybar into the square pockets, you could drill a small hole halfway down the hollow tube , weld a nut there then tighten it down with bolts against the bar, hence removable...... yes ... iam here all week lol ;D

as for [u]JOE F [u] no I intentionally welded it weekly so when iam done leaning against the mountain woman, I just tap the throttle and
and OFF she goes, backflipping down the highway......to be honest, the bar would bend before MY weld would ever break ;)

I've recently been looking for something like that too for adding something to attach a roll bag or something too. Have been wondering if there was anyway to use Harley quick detach mounts like these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harley-Quick-Detachable-Sissy-Bar-Docking-Hardware-for-Sportster-04-12-XL-/320911633254?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ab7d2eb66&vxp=mtr#ht_499wt_1185to our side rails then using harley side mounts and bolting on a vintage bar like Mayors. Anyone ever hear of this or try it? I'm not sure if the width of the frame would work or what.
I don't have access or experience with welding so I'm trying to find alternatives.
