[@a.l.kuykendall190]

Would be nice to have lights to see process

[@XenaTheQuadCamBikah]

Impressive work David! It’s a shame you didn’t continue to post videos.

[@frankorozco9790]

great job with that sissy bar that is exactly what i want for my Harley Davidson Fatboy .

[@dafigie]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@o0z6z0o]

Good job 👏

[@thejerseyj9422]

The satisfaction you get from making your own sissy bar is a bonus for the satisfaction of having and using it.
Well done.
Ever think about going into the fabrication biz ? I have an '04 Fat Boy that could use one.

[@dafigie]

Very true! Thanks Jersey J. Yes I did think about making these as a side business, but I recently started working for Harley-Davidson Motor Co, so I cant have a business that would compete or conflict with my job.

[@10lhskater]

Wow! Such a great job!

[@dafigie]

[@rowlinstoned3715]

Sydney Crosby in the house on Harleys

[@dafigie]

😆 As a hockey fan myself, I'll take Crosby as my doppelganger. Haha

[@ToothfairyRda]

Get down bro, make more videos your bad ass

[@dantasmanes1314]

It was very good, what size iron did you use please?

[@faceitnow3473]

You need night vision glasses to see what you are doing..LOL!! Next Video.. Try turning the lights on? Good job though.
Just friendly advice.

[@edmondsarvarian3749]

Nice Job Bro. Needs more volume and light. But nice job.

[@dafigie]

Thanks man. Yea, I've got a microphone now for my new videos

[@DetachedGarage]

Nice job!

[@luis_queso]

Hey man that's a great job but i would really appreciate if you can share the tube size and the metal sheet size, thank you so much bro

[@dafigie]

Thanks man. Its 5/8 inch solid round stock. The plate is 1/8 inch.

[@ChaosDeimos]

this looks sick man, nicely done. what size materials did you use? Cold rolled steel for the bar and sheet steel for the plates?

[@dafigie]

Thanks man! Yup I used 5/8" round stock. 1/8" sheet steel.

[@sergiocosta5897]

É de cano de ferro ou de barra compacta de ferro?

[@sstressfl]

Nice job man!

[@dafigie]

Thanks Michael!

[@dafigie]

Thanks Michael

[@TheBastsab]

Hi, could you give the dimensions? the height of the whole or what length bar you used, the thickness of the bar, the diameter of the circle around which you bent the top. Metal sheet thickness etc. Please 🙂

[@dafigie]

5/8" solid round steel. Plates atlre 1/8" thick. Sissy bar is 26" high above the top of the fender struts (measured perpendicular to the fender struts)

[@TheBastsab]

@@dafigie great, thanks 👍 btw after writing the question, I noticed that you already answered such questions 🙂

[@frtygoat40]

Now i know how Ray Charles feels

[@dafigie]

Okay... That made me laugh. Yea the night I did the bending, I was originally set out just to make a sissy bar, filming it was kind of a last minute decision. Hope the video helped you at least in some small way.

[@loseyourlife4042]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@jessewright989]

Did you think of the jig like that by yourself or did you find a design you went off of?

[@dafigie]

Yes, first I took some measurements on the bike. Then sketched up how I wanted the sissy bar to look. From there, I came up with the jig design.

[@jessewright989]

I appreciate the help thank you!

[@aghaazhar9048]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@andrewmarchman1753]

Looks great! Do you know what your total cost in supply’s was?

[@dafigie]

Thanks Andrew! It was probably about $60

[@manish3183]

Hey David, what's the height of the bar from mounting point?

[@dafigie]

It came out to be 26 inches high, measured perpendicular to the top of the fender struts. So about 26.5 to the mounting holes.

[@manish3183]

@@dafigie thanks 😊

[@josephhebting1435]

What size did you drill for the holes

[@dafigie]

I drilled them 1/2 inch for the side plates. After powder coating, they ended up smaller though and I had to drill them again. To make it easer on yourself, id go 9/16 inch diameter.

[@jamespolucha8790]

How tall is this?

[@dafigie]

Its 26" tall measured from the top of the fender struts

[@zenpro8164]

VIDEO TOO DARK CANT SEE PROCEDURES IN DETAIL

[@dougcampbell7648]

They always play goofy heavy metal music. Try something, anything different…..oh yeah…..I liked the work.

[@rsartshow7977]

I was going to make a pun about the title but...I’m too much of a sissy.

[@dafigie]

Hahaha

[@obeddiazrodriguez]

I can’t see anything! 😂
