What is the best material for a sissy bar?

The best material for a sissy bar on a motorcycle is typically high-quality steel. Steel is favored for its durability, longevity, and rust resistance, ensuring that the universal sissy bar can withstand various elements like debris, rain, or strong winds. For custom sissy bars, materials such as stainless steel or mild steel rods are commonly used due to their strength and ease of customization.

How tall of a sissy bar should I get? How do you accurately measure a sissy bar?

The height of your sissy bar is totally up to you. There is no rule that you have to follow concerning height. To measure a sissy bar, there are a few measurements you need to take. First measure the width. This measurement should be taken at the bottom of the sissy bar and you are measuring from the outside to outside of the bar. To measure the height of the sissy bar, measure from the bottom bolt hole to the highest part of the sissy bar. Depending on your application you may need to measure your side straps. Side strap brackets are model specific. Measure the side strap by measuring from center point to center point of the two holes at the bottom of the side strap.

What custom sissy bar do you guys recommend?

There are a lot of things to consider before we can recommend the right sissy bar for you. If you have a bike with side plates (fender struts), then we would recommend one of our bike specific sissy bars that comes complete and ready to mount to your specific motorcycle. If you have a full-on custom bike and you want to add something that takes a little more effort, then we would tell you to look at one of our Gasbox or Burly Brand sissy bars. These look great but will take a little more time and effort to install as they are custom. There are full custom versions, the DIY Sissy Bar Kits, that require welding, as well as chrome-plated, ready-to-go sissy bars that will work with many rigid frame choppers and different style motorcycle rear fenders, and bolt in place.
