What size and type of drill bit did you use to drill the holes in the fender for the sissy bar?

the rear fender is premarked for the oem sissy bar on the underside, so remove it and you will see the 4 hashmarks. Start with an 1/8" bit and work your way up 3 to 4 sizes till you get to 1/8" larger the spacer diameter. I used standard drill bits for steel. Start slowly, once the bit starts cutting pick up speed slightly, apply only a little pressure, let the bit do the work. And have someone hold the fender firmly. Good luck!!!

So what do you guys do to cover up those giant holes in the fender when not using the sissy bar? It especially looks bad because the C&C seat doesn't cover the rear holes. Maybe stickers??

lmfao @ giant ass woman. well I would think that most people that put the sissy bar on would leave it on and not take it off that often, call me crazy, plus why would you put stickers on your bike that you probably cleaned up of reflectors and the stickers that was on there in the first place.

First off....No fatties on my bike! Second....I'm kidding about the stickers, unless they're the bullet hole stickers, those things are SWEET!!
I actually don't mind the look of the sissy bar by itself, so I guess I'll just remove the back pad when not rolling 2 up. Maybe I'll just by a spare rear fender??

I used a step drill to get the hole to 3/4". Harbor Freight has them for about $7.50.

I drilled the holes last night and mounted the sissy bar. Just didn't like the holes in the fender and the fact that the C&C seat doesn't cover up the two rear holes.

Well I agree with not liking having to drill holes in the fender, seems like they could have came up with something different like it bolt up under the passenger seat so that if you did take the bar and pad off you wouldnt see the holes, but your not going to get something like that unless you fab one as of right now. I have bought my Honda sissy bar and pad but havent installed it yet, but I'm going to talk to a buddy that does some fabrication to see if he could come up with something better and then just return the Honda bar and pad. you could just put some nice spike bolts in the holes if you take that bar off and want to fill in the holes.

Come on furyfun fat women need love too. That little OEM sissy bar isn't big enough to do anything except get caught in the crack of your butt to keep you from falling completely off.
