    i have a sportster with a wide tire frame and i have every book they sell in the shops and can not find a sissy bar that will fit my frame.i have a 9 inch fender.i found one at jp cycles but it has a offset for a v-twin on the left side which makes it looks like it is around three quarters of a inch off center to the left.so i turned it around and it was to the right.help

    fabricate your own and have it chromed or powder coated (I happened to know of a feller that at one time was looking for some powdercoating pieces a while back) he is down TXs way. By doing that you can make it a one of a kind, I built one it's in the gallery i think if you need some insperation. cost about 200.00 less to boot
