Locust Sissy Bar

The bike was skinny up front so I had to keep her skinny in the rear. I wanted something tall because not only do I need to pack tools, clean underwear and shelter.... I also have to pack my camera gear and lighting equipment. A tall sissy bar comes in really handy for this.

I started by grinding two pieces of round rod to a point. I then got out the torch and some needle nose pliers and bent the rod to my liking.

I mapped out the sissy bar on a piece of sheet metal and welded it together.

Making everything is lining up..... except for the rib on the fender which I welded in crooked.

Getting fancy with the grinder

The bottom mount. I ended up welding over the hole for a smooth finish.
