Sissy bar fit question

[Grey wolf oz]

Guys

Luke

Melbourne Australia here
2001 valkyrie interstate
I am in the process of pulling the top box off and i want to get a sissy bar

Doesn’t any one know if the VTX models fit ?  They are more readily available


Thanks in advance for any input

You know you will need new fender rails and the wings that hold the sissy bar

[Grey wolf oz]

Yes but i consider that  the whole arrangement


There are a couple of Valkyrie bars on USA eBay
 Postage is a bit .,.,.,, whoa

There are a lot of VTX sets on Australian eBay

I figured i would tap in to the KB here on it

I know taht all manufacturers keep some parts coming so hoping for A happy ending here

Are you wanting a sissy bar for a back rest?


Have you looked at one of these?  They are in New Zealand.

Thanks chris

What i can not see, is how the sissy bar wings mount

Any information on this would be helpful

I am thinking an after market VTX 1800 bar looks very similar to the trunk rails

I don’t know if this will help or even work

What I was trying to warn you about. Your Interstate fender rails cannot accept those wings for the sissy bar. You will need rails from a standard or tourer.

Brilliant thank you

So the ten thousand dollar question, are the fender grab rails the same on the interstate and the standard ?

More  the problem is i can not find a sissy bar set !!  Lol well one in a wrecker ,,

Read the post above yours. Your question was answered before you asked it.

I believe _sheffjs_ had talked about a model sissy bar that would bolt up to the interstate’s fender rails. No other mod needed. I can’t remember the model of bike it was made for. I’ll try to find out or you can pm him.
