I've had the top hand ventures sissy bar since 2017 when i put them on my new streetglide. They are top quality and help me strap luggage for long rides. They look perfect 7 years later.
I just bought a 2020 StreetBob yesterday. My sissy bar will be in this week. Thanks for the video. This will make my install go easier.
Awesome! Good luck to you. It's much easier if you take the fender all the way off instead of fighting it like I did.
Amazing job
I just got the detachable one for my 2006 street bob with the extra fat seat I took the saddle bag holders off as well . But I had bolt size issues and have had to put 2 steel bolts in short term till I can get the stainless steel button ones I want
Awesome video! You did a great job with it. Too much work for me for a sissy bar install - sticking with HD tall quick detach one. But, you video was excellent! 👍
Thanks, I would definitely recommend the Harley sissy bar over this one for ease of install and to avoid paint scratches and scuffs.
What's your next project? Would like to suggest bigger gas tank upgrade, seems like you know what you're doing and would be a useful project.
Very nice, I recently bought a xg750 Street harley, and it's really hard to find anything for them, I feel like I'm an outsider, lol.
We're those bolts supplied? They look longer than the stock bolts. I put mine together today with the stock bolts and it sketches me out. It has to be only holding on by a thread or two. Those stock bolts are tiny
2 questions for ya. Can you get black hardware for it? And is there a specific back pad for that or is it universal?
This is the next thing I’m doing to my FXST. I never paid attention to the catalog picture showing the H-D bar with the mounting brackets on the outside. This bar really does look better. I wonder if the H-D bar could be mounted to the inside, too?
Also noticed the mounting bracket is resting directly on the fender now. Wonder what that does to the paint?
Overall this is a cleaner looking install. You gave me more homework to do before buying one.
the HD bar will not fit to the inside
There is definitely a possibility of paint scratching where the sissy bar mounting plate touches the fender. Most of it will be under the fender support bracket though to be honest. It might be possible to stick some protective film over that portion of the fender to prevent scratching. I've seen this type of material provided with swingarm bags so that the straps don't wear down the paint.

Great video! Hey do you know the height of the sissy bar from the top of the fender to the top of the bar? Is it long enough to strap a sissy bar bag too?
The bar is listed as a 16" height and I was able to strap a bar bag to it with no problem. Unfortunately, I don't have the bike any longer to get an exact measurement.
Excellent video. I'd like to know the mark and model of the seat. I liked it very much and I would like to know if it can be bought online since I live in Spain. Thank you very much.
that is the saddlemen seat, step up is the model. they really nice you can pick the stitch type thread color etc. while you there click on the pro link and you can buy one similar but designed by san Diego customs. little more round doesn't look like 2 lego blocks stuck together lol
@@jimdean6437 Thanks a lot. I have already found it. I would like to know if the seat is comfortable for the passenger since I have the original Harley and it is very hard.
@@JuanVidalHaces I'm not sure but I know you can pay extra to get the passenger end with gel. I'm still trying to decide on the Step Up SDC one or 1 from Whiplash
@@jimdean6437 Thanks a lot. In Mallorca (where I am from) everything goes by catalog and it is difficult to find everything, we depend on availability and many times you do not buy what you like but what arrives. We will continue inventing. A pleasure.
That is correct, it is a Saddlemen Step-Up seat. Not sure if they ship to Spain, but here is their support email: sales@saddlemen.com. I'm sure they will be able to answer any questions you may have.
What length size is your sissy bar? Thanks
Hi may I know the size of the bolt?
Nice, I just got the hd one on mine, seems identical. Big cost difference?
The one I installed was about $240. I believe the HD one mounts on the outside of the fender supports, so that would be a slightly easier install process.
Dang it. I should watch this first. I scratch my fender. That shit was tight
Nice! A fellow Arizonan with a FXBB, im getting a sissy bar for my Street Bob here in a few weeks and just wanted to see if anyone had an instal video and found yours.
How tall is your sissy bar?
This bar is 16" tall.
@@KSSTUDIOS nice! I think I’m going to go with a 22” or maybe a 24” sissy bar, I found a guy in California who will make the style I like that I cannot find for the FXBB.
What kind of back pad fit on the mount.
I think it's pretty flexible to accommodate a wide range of pads. There are two holes pre-drilled in mine. I assume most pads that you drill your own holes would work with the right length screws, but never mounted one personally. I chose the pad mount bar so that my tie straps had something to hook onto and never got around to installing a pad.
Would be nice to get a link to where you bought this thing..
Not sure if you saw it, but the link to the part is in the description.
