Need info, Took off my trunk and added a rear light. So fae so good. I was wondering what to do for a sissy bar or some kind of backrest for the passenger.
I would like to know what some of the others have worked this out.
Went for a few short rides without the trunk, so far I really like it without all the extra weight.
All suggestions would be appreciated.
TIA

If you get the fender rails from a standard or tourer, I have a sissy bar and pad off my old standard I'd let go if you want it.

It looks like a sissy bar will fit on a I/S fender rail. But you would also have to buy the bracket for the sissy bar. Might be hard to find I've been looking for a left side one so far no luck

Someone on the board built a bracket to bolt where the studs that hold the trunk on are. It mounted a stock sissy bar and backrest to the I/S  rail that could be taken on and off easily. Maybe they'll chime in.

There is an article on F6 Rider http://www.f6rider.com/Articles/10_minute_super_valk.htm

You will either need to get fender rails from a standard/tourer to mount the sissy bar to, or build a custom bracket for the sissy bar. I have both and can swap back and forth, but honestly, when I get a little free time I'll be building a bracket that bolts to the IS fender rail. It's not a "quick" change without a custom bracket and the way the IS frame rail is built it would take some serious customizing (and then painting or re-chroming) to fit the stock mount for the backrest/sissy bar. Building a custom bracket would be quicker and easier.

Nitrojukie330, I sure could use your sissy bar and pad. Anyone out there have any ideas where I could possibly find a side bar from  a standard or touerer?

There is an ad for grab rails and complete backrest for sale in the classifieds but it's a package deal.  You have to take the seats with it.

Like I said, I have the fender rails off the standard/tourer, don't think I will go through the hassle of installing them again.

Are you never converting back? If you don't plan on putting the trunk on, I am looking for some parts off of one.

BigBf makes a quick release trunk modification if its something thats of intrest? 

[Gunslinger]

The quick release is important when swapping back and forth, but it doesn't address the need to attach a backrest/sissybar.

[GREENDRAGON]

Thanks for all the input. I think I have it all figured out now.

[NiteRiderF6]

You need something like this deal. I have had this and hope to get it accomplished someday, but after all that I have seen, I think this is still the way to go. Good Luck!

Doug that is the one I was talking about. Missed yall at HG this year hope to see ya soon.

[GREENDRAGON]

Gunslinger, Sorry I took so long to answer, but I will be using the trunk again . Wife wont let me get rid of it so I will need all the parts.

Just ordered side rails from a standard or tourer from Valkyrie Bling and more. Says they look like new, $119.00. I thought it was a pretty good deal.

[Hellcat]

I got a decent deal on ebay on the Paladin quick-remove system. Ultimately I was going to have to buy a sissy bar plus a cruiser bar for when I went solo. It was worth it to me to be able to pull the whole thing off fast and avoid the cruiser bar altogether.

[NiteRiderF6]

Same here Millard. We wanted to come badly, but things just aren't working out for me to ride much this year. I have been out of town nearly every week since March; and now we are moving this week, so we have lots of excuses it seems. We hope to see you guys soon though. Take care and Ride Safely!
