I’m glad I saw your video. Thanks 🙏

[@salvagingsouls5418]

I just ordered this sissy bar from the dealership. Can't wait to install it on my street bob

[@Willm28]

Awesome vid, I just purchased this sissy bar for my 22' Street Bob. Glad I came across your video. Thx!

[@jamespolucha8790]

Thanks for the video,I looked at the price on sissybars and couldn’t believe it so a found some round bar and flat steel and made one and looks pretty good even powder coated it, I’m glad I tried it

[@guitarocker37]

Just got home after buying this bar for my 2020 Slim. Glad I came across your video. Thank you for the clear information on the install. Keep up the good work!

[@TonysGarage]

Glad it helped thanks for watching👊👊👊

[@BobSmith-sl9sm]

I like that Harley has done away with side plates for mounting on the rear fender.

[@thebluntandonly]

I'm installing this next weekend after it arrives at the store on a 2020 FLDE

[@bloosorangebox7497]

Yeah, great vid. There aren’t many/any videos showing this HD Sissy on an actual bike (well, for my bike). I have a Slim also. I’ll be getting this. Keep up the good videos.

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks glad it helped

[@traxlera]

Excellent video. Very helpful tips.

[@cv7900]

Thanks for the video, helped me install my sissy bars, very clear instructions

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful.

[@DCyclemoto]

Really considering the same bike when I upgrade. ‘Nother good video! Keep ‘em coming.

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks!

[@hotspringbop]

Hey Tony don't suppose you know the part number for that particular bar? Great Vids BTW

I use a rag and wd40 and tape comes off sweet, nice bike

[@slyguyaction]

Good thing you re-torqued those bolts. I didn’t think it’d be necessary either when you mentioned it but then I thought about it. The self-adhesive washers you installed crushed a little and that little bit of give changed your torque. Good install. You gonna protect the fender paint so a bag doesn’t mar it up? Gonna install a passenger pad or backrest pad? Keep up the great work.

[@joshtomada4337]

You are a life saver

[@TonysGarage]

Glad the video was helpful! Ride safe

Thanks, where in Indiana are you?

[@erniecastillo2482]

Looks really good Tony.....

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks for watching

[@thealexpshow782]

I just got into motorcycles, and specifically the sissy bar. I'm ordering a couple bars tommorow. What can I expect?

[@moustachemike7128]

just a word of advise do your research on these newer bike on what ya have to go thru to put after market and oem accessory parts on ..it can get expensive...

[@raykeylargofl]

I thought it goes in between the fender and the outside part where the reflector was placed

[@silverrambo1508]

Thanks.

[@josephfranks1685]

I bought one on eBay and washers not included, Harley doesn’t have any either, any idea on the actual washer dimensions ie diameter thickness?

[@rebel_ltz]

Very sexy sissy bar! I'm definitely getting one once I got the Street Bob. I love it without the reflectors.

[@TonysGarage]

No reflectors for me! Just needed a reason to take them off. It’s a pretty tall one to also 18 inches.

[@johnwein8418]

question for you. does a sporster sissy bar fits on a softail slim?

[@sportglidejim9001]

Ordered mine Sat when I bought a new ride.... 18 Fatbob....yay me lol Ride hard or stay home😎

[@TonysGarage]

Congrats!!! 🍾. Great bike!

[@TonysGarage]

You are close. Need to plan a ride this season.

[@TonysGarage]

You going to the Midwest meetup?

[@martyportersr7008]

We will get it done. I am retired so I ride all I can. Retired at 55 and I am 58.

[@TonysGarage]

👍

[@martyportersr7008]

O yes that’s my plan

[@Boxer1250RT]

No side markers? it would be non-DOT compliant. Not that I care so much about what DOT thinks. Great Looking Machine!

[@TonysGarage]

Installed according to the Harley instructions. They give you 2 new reflectors to install on the sissy bar supports. I just choose not to use them.

[@Redsplattergames]

Anthony Muro Can confirm this is the exact correct install from Harley directly according to their instructions packaged with this sissy bar.

[@jimmorrison306]

Hey, I am going to install one of these on my 2020 FXST. Would you mind telling me what you’re covering the rear fender with? Fender bib? Pillion seat? Nothing? I really don’t want to mount any kind of seat and wondered what you did. Thanks

[@TonysGarage]

I used absolutely nothing. I am now running a saddlemen set up seat which covers most of the rear fender.

[@dabrownconservative7843]

I take it the new screws are longer?

[@richarddavidson123]

Hey Tony. Great channel. Helped inspire me to buy a 2020 in denim black. Mine came with the quick lock harley hardware (nothing else) but I really like this bar better than the quick detach available. Does this kit come with everything you need if I were to remove the quick mount hardware?

[@TonysGarage]

Yes sir everything you need. Thanks for watching ride safe!

[@elierucar6853]

Hi Tony! Thank you very much for this video first of all, really great work, easy to understand as well! I do have one question: Did you try to desinstall the bar? And if so, is it easy to do and easily reversible? My harley dealer told me it was possible but I prefer to have an user POV on that matter 😂 Thank you for your answer, ride safe

[@TonysGarage]

Yeah, it is really just 4 bolts takes about 15 minutes.

[@rosendkvaldez551]

What's the part number ??

[@rebel_ltz]

2 months have passed, how do you like the sissy bar?

[@TonysGarage]

I love it. Very handy indeed

[@WillFurner]

I thought all the 18s only used the detachable sissy bars? I just ordered the smaller detachable one with the mounting hardware.

[@TonysGarage]

This one just showed up on Harleys website as a new item.

[@ohiodjpros3501]

What sissy bar is that? I'm going to order it for mine. Looks amazing

[@TonysGarage]

It’s made by Harley Davidson

[@user-os1qt9jz1o]

How do you install with wide washers?

[@gregoriojuarez1579]

Did the screw retainers on the other side fall when you took out the screws??

[@TonysGarage]

Sure did.

[@timothyecott]

Do you know if it will be possible to add a backrest to this ? It looks great, but I hope it is possible.

[@TonysGarage]

Yes, you can see it comes with the bracket just not the backrest itself.

[@moustachemike7128]

ok sooo did ya have to relocate the side mounted license plate holder or did it not come with one .?

[@TonysGarage]

Came that way

[@jeffthomas3713]

Any accessories for this bar that can be added like back rest and luggage rack?

[@TonysGarage]

Hey Jeff there is a back rest for sure not a 100 percent on the luggage rack. Thanks for watching stay safe out there!

[@kidmoto22]

Do you regret the change in a bike because of the lack of aftermarket parts? With what you did with your last bike I would have loved to see what you could do with a Low Rider S, or another Dyna. Love your videos and really dig the room you film in with the skateboard decks on the wall behind you!

[@rebel_ltz]

In a couple months there will be a lot more aftermarket options. It's actually quite exciting to wait for them.

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks, aftermarket is on the way just takes a little time with all the changes Harley made.

[@jolo170]

The sissy bar goes between the trim piece and the fender. Not in the outside. You install it wrong.

[@WADEPH33R3]

where can I buy this bar ?

[@TonysGarage]

It a Harley branded part so any local dealer on H-D online.

[@WADEPH33R3]

@@TonysGarage how much was it ?

[@TonysGarage]

Thinking it was around the 200 dollar mark give or take.

[@markboatwright944]

i though it installed underneath the side plates ?

[@TonysGarage]

Not according to the instructions. You might be able to do it that way if you wanted. Ride safe Mark!

[@leonardpezza1062]

Did your bike come with Dunlop tires?

[@TonysGarage]

Yes sir

[@red.riot.2280]

What does it torque at?

[@TonysGarage]

Sorry, I’m afraid I don’t remember. It is in the instructions and I believe I stated in the video as well.

[@codysikels4156]

[@GUDDAisHere]

The camera shots after installs are bad. You need to have a wider view and full side view too

[@TheBowmans7]

What is the height?

[@TonysGarage]

I’m thinking it’s 16 inches

[@johnbellizzijr.2351]

This is a harley brand sissy bar, but not for older models!! Only for 2018 and newer!! Beware. I was about to purchase this for my 2016 slim s!! Glad I didnt!
