This Bolt On Sissy Bar for Honda Shadow VT600 VLX 600 motorcycles is a simple and clean design offering an answer for those in need of a sissy bar, but without the means to make one at home! No welding needed!!
Bent from 1/2" steel, this is just what you need to strap up a sleeping bag or a drill press!
This Sissy Bar is meant to fit the Honda Shadow VT600 aka VLX600 model in conjunction with the TJBC Curved Bobber Fender, and it will NOT fit a stock fender. We cannot guarantee a perfect fit with other fenders.
It does not fit the Curved "Short Round" Fender, as doing so would angle your sissy bar to between approximately 10:30 and 11:00 as viewed from the left side of the bike.
These are cake to install. You can attach them to your axle plates one of two ways:
TJ's Method - Locate the 3rd & 4th from the rear notch on your axle plate on each side and center punch each plate about 1/2" above the notches. You want to make sure the lower bung doesn't hit the adjustment notches and it doesn't hit the curved portion of the axle plate.
Drill a 5/16" hole and then tap it with a 3/8"-16 tap.
Lay a length of chain over the center line of the tire, tape it down and lay the fender on this, it will give you a perfect fender height! Move your sissy bar to the angle you want and mark the location of the holes on the fender, needed for the bolts to attach to the upper fender supports. Pull the fender off and drill the holes. At the rear of the fender you will want to drill slightly oversized 3/8" holes to attach the Sissy Bar fender supports.
OR
Alternate Method - Drill a 3/8" hole and use a nylock nut on the bolt on the backside of the axle plate. Lay a length of chain over the center line of the tire, tape it down and lay the fender on this, it will give you a perfect fender height!
Move your sissy bar to the angle you want and mark the location of the holes on the fender, needed for the bolts to attach to the upper fender supports. Pull the fender off and drill the holes.
At the rear of the fender you will want to drill slightly oversized 3/8" holes to attach the Sissy Bar fender supports.
At the front of the fender we recommend using our Pressio Bolt on Kit!
We recommend not welding anything to the fender.
The top of Sissy Bar is approx 15" from the top of the fender.
