Sissy Bar

[The Chicken Man]

Good day all,

I'm looking to install a sissybar/backrest on my Vmax (2009). I came across this one that I like the look of being sold by a company called EuropCustom. It comes in two different heights, chrome or powder coat black, and with an optional luggage rack. Just curious if anyone out there has ever bought this or has any thoughts on it? They don't have many photos so it seems a little suspicious to me.

I’ve never seen that one before

Looks nice but I've never seen or heard anything about it ... If it's true they will get a lot of business

Resembles the Gen. 1 in side-view. A good-looking piece.

Hey Chicken Man, I bought one of those earlier this year. Quality looks great, come with hardware and instructions. Chrome plating is very good. Only problem is that it is for a Gen2 and I have a Gen1. If interested, I'll sell for what I have in it. It has the higher back rest and comes with the rack.

Thanks you for the info Tom! That's great to know it's a legit peace.

Thank you for the offer too! Your sounds like the options I was thinking about going with too, but I'm not sure if I want to go with the black or chrome finish yet.

I too looked at this sissy bar made by Spaan (France). The 1 bolt mounting point on each side doesn't inspire confidence and reviews of the "foam/filler" padding isn't so great.

when you take off the silver oem trim there are 2 bolts holes to install the sissy bar.

For anyone who was curious, I still haven't purchased a sissy bar yet. I just bought a tractor so I need to save up a little cash again, but I did find some more info on these pieces in the meantime.

I found three other websites selling what appears to be the same set up. The second website listed below included a higher "chopper" option and the third had more pictures showing better details on how they mount. Looks like they use two bolts on each side and go under the trim peace, but it seems to leave it bent away from the fender a little bit. Not sure how I like that aspect of it. But I still like its resemblance to the 1st gen's style.

I've also been looking at this offering from Exactrep. It comes in black only but also has the option of a luggage rack. It appears to require removal of the trip peace altogether. Anybody have any experience with one of these setups?

I also found it listed on this site too: http://www.vmax.bike/new/?page_id=4902&lang=en
