Quick Release Sissy Bar for the Roadster

[Harbinger]

Add me to the list of buyers if you decide to make them availible!!

I would be interested depending on the price and shipping costs. But there is a waterjet cutting business about an hour and a half away.

Add me to the interested list.

I would need to look into how many sets would need to be made to keep the price down. I only do the stainless steel posts on my small home lathe and they take quite a while to make. A cnc lathe would be the way to go.

Over the next few days I will have a set of Autocad drawings that will be freely available to anyone who wants to pM me an email address and you could set about making your own version.

cheers

I'm certainly interested in this project - I've been trying to come up with a way to eliminate the "fender horns" that spoil the lines of the rear fender with the sissy bar and pillion seat removed.
I assume you are designing a removable bracket system to attach the optional Triumph sissy bar.

I have Corbin beetle bags so will have to be sure the bracket would allow them to fit, too.
Generally, I think if easy brackets fit, the Corbins would fit. The Beetle bags do fit closer to the chrome fender trim and the bolts are different; the beetles are also supported from below by an added bracket ( an ugly appendage when the bags aren't mounted).

*****
After finding the photos, I might need to make a few modifications to the chrome fender trim to make these work with the beetle bags ON the bike, but I think it's worth the effort.
Has anyone tried these with the corbin bags?

Thanks very much for your work on this.

I recently installed a sissy bar backrest with luggage rack on my 2011 Roadster. When I ordered it, I spoke to the parts guy who told me that the backrest was the same for all models and that it would fit any of them, roadster, classic or touring. I doubted him, knowing that the roadster has a wider rear tire.

He was in fact correct. The install went off without a hitch. Since I have been assured that at least the width of the rear fender is the same on all models, the quick release made for the rocket touring bike, should in theory, work with any of the rockets as well.

I haven't tried it out, but it seems logical.

Anyone prove otherwise?

That's good to know, but what about the location of the mounting bolts for the fender rails?

Brackets are now at the Chromers, they say I will get them back in 2 weeks due to high work load.

I have emailed drawings to those that asked.
If you would like a set them pm me your email.

how would we go getting them done in stainless and is it possible to have a small variation I have lifted my rack/sissy bar 60mm (the space between the existing holes so I could mount my numberplate on to the gaurd behind the tail light
