#582296 scooter76 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2977 Advice needed :) 5 Years ago   Ok. So, I was browsing around endlessly multiple hundreds of sites on e-bay for different mods. Can you say right awake at 3am ??? . I plan on traveling a little more, and further distances this summer, and naturally, I will need a little more room to pack some things. I know I want a luggage rack, and I have one in mind already. However, I am not sure about what kind of sissy bar would look good on my bike. I know, I know, it's my bike, but maybe there are some things that work and look better than others. I just don't know how a padded sissy bar would look like with just a fender bib, and no passenger seat ? But then again, do I need a padded one? How would a tall backrest upright look? Oh, decisions decisions . HELP!!!!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #582301 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 12885 Re:Advice needed :) 5 Years ago   Are you adverse to the idea of a back pack? Maybe just a fender bag that would sit on the bib?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #582309 Greysnake (User) I'm so far behind I think I'm first.

Just something to ponder.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #582313 fireman922 (User) Schrodinger's Cat - Wanted Dead & Alive Platinum Boarder Posts: 5845 Re:Advice needed :) 5 Years ago   I found that a nice stuff bag bungeed to the pass seat, along with the saddle bags, allows me to bring everything I'll need. You can use a pass seat with suction cups or a folded towel underneath to protect the fender. When packing, you have to think "Do I really need that pair of red spike heals?". Never mind. Yeah, you need them. Get the sissy bar and a t-bag.   Logged     Ask me about my attention deficit disorder or my pie or my cat. A dog. I have a bike. Do you like TV? I saw a rock.

That now makes total sense, saves me some money (that I can spend on something else) and probably doesn't look too dorky either. Yes, I do want to retain some coolness factor . And yes, fireman, those extra spike heels must go   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #582316 GreenMachine (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1304 Re:Advice needed :) 5 Years ago   If you decide you want a sissybar, the kuryakyn raptor bar looks cool even without a pad.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #582317 JohnnyBravo (User) I'm serious, and don't call me Shirley Platinum Boarder Posts: 1768 Re:Advice needed :) 5 Years ago   Most trips I just bring a backpack. For Sturgis it's a backpack and a duffel, you save a lot of room when you don't wear bloomers   Logged     guns are meant to be shot Harley, not thrown   The administrator has disabled public write access. #582318 USAFretired (User) Moderator Posts: 2070 Re:Advice needed :) 5 Years ago   What did you have in mind already? Not sure if they make a fender rack that goes where the fender bib is. A backrest can be installed for one of the bags that goes over them. The pad could always be left off since there is no passenger seat. The backrest could always be removed fairly easy when you are not making longer trips. Edit: Attach a sidecar, tons of room for luggage. The whole area behind the seat is a huge trunk. Problem solved!   Logged     Last Edit: 2013/01/31 14:55 By USAFretired.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #582319 Warden (Moderator) Moderator Posts: 9535 Re:Advice needed :) 5 Years ago   USAFRETIRED wrote: Attach a sidecar, tons of room for luggage.
