Does what its supposed to do. In my opinion, the added tie down locations are what really brings the functionality out of this design.
I was undecided on saddlebags since I prefer the simple lines of my Honda. And then I found this. This sissy bar is perfect! My backpack slides down and the top handles hook around the top for a perfect fit. I now have the storage I need for a jacket or for purchases while exploring. And the black looks great with my bike.
The description correctly excludes the 2024 shadow phantom from the list of models that this product will fit on, but I was able to modify the mounting brackets by drilling one hole in each side so they would fit. Now that it's installed, I love it. It's extremely solid and confidence inspiring. The machine work and welding were excellent as well. I was slightly saddened that it doesn't ship with any complimentary banana stickers, however.
