Saddlebags on, rear signal assembly mounted. I'm now looking for a sissy bar. Anyone know of any that will fit? Even if it requires slight modifications. Any help greatly appreciated.

I have a couple of OEM sissy bars.  They're not cheap.  Let me know if you want to go that route.

They are the brackets that are inside the chrome frame rails. In looking for a pic of them I came across this. It has the the "ears" along with the sissy bar and luggage rack.

So would that work on a valkyrie? It says mounting hardware not included so I'm guessing it doesnt come with those ears?

I haven't used it. But it says it is. Granted their descriptions are kind of nebulous. But, by going with the pics, it looks like it comes with everything but the bolts.


"Includes:

Two steel chrome plated side brackets (center to center mounting points: 2.75")
Comfortable Cushion
Backrest Upright 15" tall (20" from the mounting holes to the top of the pad)
Assembly Hardware
Heavy Duty Luggage Rack
Mounting hardware & instructions are not included"
