Anyone have Highway Hawk sissy bar?

crawlgsx · 02-01-2012, 10:15 AM

Last noob question for the day. Anyone running a Highway Hawk Arch sissy bar? I like the look but can't tell how it is installed, was curious about how rigid it is and what kind of drilling/etc has to be done. I was also curious as to quality.

Just getting ready to order some parts and trying not to order crap

I've got it. You have to take off the seat and fender. The hangers bolt directly to the frame with replacement bolts that come with the kit. Its been awhile but I think it took me all of about 45 mins. My only issue was the proper spacing between the side plates and the fender. I would not secure the fender or seat incase you have to bend the hanger out to get proper even spacing on both sides. It truly is a very simple job. Make sure you have a good allen set to avoid stripping the bolts on removing and reinstalling .

Also if u plan on chopping the beaver I would do it all at the same time. you will have to remove all the same bolts since the hangers, beaver and frame all get bolted together.

You got pics of this installed? I looked at the website and shows the old vtx1300 install not the fury install.

A couple of weeks ago there was one on ebay but I can't find one now. Here is a pic of one. I really like the look.

Not sure how this will translate through the phone app but here goes. Hopefully its not too small and you may need to rotate to portrait view to see the full pic. Pulled my bike out yesterday before the snow was supposed to come down, will try for better pics soon.

They are going to add more this week (to ebay), they are/were at some show.

I really like the look as well, I haven't read exactly stellar reviews on HH Products but I'm going to go for it anyway.

I can say I have been very happy with this passenger rest. Have taken the Mrs on hour long rides with no problem. (except for the seat which as u can see has been changed out) Very well made .
