Any interest in sissy bars?
#65
I wish...

The back angle is good now- further reclined. The back pad mounting straps are 3 inch lower which look like they are right height- but I had asked for the entire legs to be 3 inches shorter. The vertical tubes start an inch closer to the rear of the seat.

Still not right on the mounting holes in the brackets, and the best part- since I had told him that I wanted the vertical section to start upward an inch closer to the seat-instead of doing that and changing where the bend is- he just welded the mounting tabs back an inch moving the whole thing forward.

Works great as far as the rear spacing on the seat- but now the front of the bar hits the shocks.

So he fixed the angle, and lowered the pad- but left the bar 3 inches taller than I wanted, still didn't get the bolt holes to line up, and now is interfering with the shocks.. So I would say 25% better- 75% still wrong.

Guy is a complete amateur as far as claiming to be a 'businessman' as he won't actually speak on the phone, denies responsibility via text and basically is just trying to run and hide considering he is on the other side of the country.

SOOOOO... I will have to make it work myself- which will require redrilling the mounting holes and trimming the ends off the front of the bar which is annoying as I will have to paint the ends silver to prevent rust, as well as the holes I redrill- on my otherwise nicely chromed bar that I spend about $500 on at this point. And it will still be a little too tall for my preference- but I can't do anything about that...
