vintage sissy bar

[Tom_imp]

There's a Sissy bar luggage rack from a 1979 CB750K available near me. I don't suppose anyone has put one or one like it on a CB1100? From the pics, it looks like it might fit. I think I remember someone did something similar with one from from a VT700 or something similar.

Someone did recently do something like that. I believe their mechanic had a few laying around from older bikes and they grabbed one that looked like it would work.

I cannot remember who it was but I think I actually saved the picture of it... yes I did. If anyone know who this gentleman is the. You could ask him

I just mounted this eBay find last night without any issues. Was listed as a 74 CB750. Could be the best $45 bucks I've spent on this scoot, haha.

Ha - that is fun Crash.

I had this one custom made years ago. I have a motorcycle specific backpack that is designed to slid down over it as well.

I like it alot! I also like the idea of just throwing a G.I duffle on a sissy bar instead of messing around with saddle bags

That passenger seat looks so chilled-out.

I suppose nobody wants to hear this, but these sissy bars pose a serious risk to pilot’s and co’s health in case of a crash or drop. How serious ? very much so !

 

[PowerDubs_imp]

By that argument- so does saddlebags.

Would you agree that anything added below an imaginary line from
the handle bar to the rear light will change the riders’ risk very little, if
at all, and anything added above that line could make a serious difference,
or would you rather have me explain this ?

... (dang). There goes the flip-over crash bar theory.

(click on for details) Pulling this data out of a hat is impressive! And I find the numbers, to say the least, surprising! One can argue about causality and correlation between these mods and accidents, but numbers don't lie - facts are facts.

Having said that, my comment was obviously sarcastic. Or it wasn't that obvious

I was actually surprised sissy bars made the radar, let alone be statistically something.

The comment mildly caught my curiosity regarding ape hangers and extra raked front suspension. And low and behold, there read sissy bars.

Interesting data chart. Note that the modified exhaust was the mod present on the highest percentage of bikes which crashed.
