Hello, I have a 99' Interstate. I have removed the trunk and would like to know if anyone has installed a sissy bar without changing the fender rails or major modifications. Thanks for any help, Lewis. Lneedle4275@aol.com |

Don't forget you'll need to add a taillight.

Hi Valker, I've had the trunk off forever and have installed a tail light. Thanks for the reply and foreseeing a possible problem. My passengers seem to want a sissy bar to lean against. Lewis  |

Hi Lewis,
I have an 98 Tourer. Might the parts from it fit. I'm thinking if someone ( not me) with a tourer wanted to trade the components it could work out well for both of you.

You will need tourer or std fender rails, as the IS rails do NOT have a mount for the sissy bar on them, as none is used on the IS.

Thanks MP. Does anyone out there have any rails or sissy bar setup for a standard or standard Valkyrie? Lewis

I meant to say standard or tour in the previous post. Lewis

Try checking with Pinwall on Ebay, they probably have some from a salvage cycle.

Hi Challenger, I know I'm pushing it here but, tell me. Do you have a part # for that sissy bar? Have another picture showing how high it is and if there is cushion? Do you still have the original seat on your bike and the sissy bar clears it? I will go JC Whitney and check it out. Thank you very much, I'm liking this simple install. Lewis

You have been a huge help Challenger. I have saddlebag rails installed on my bike and have my antennae mounted to that. With the picture you sent me, I can see how high the sissy bar sits above the seat and I would definitely not want the shorty bar. Having the Sku # avoids ordering the wrong part. I understand I will need to drill the sissy bar. Thanks for taking pictures and answering so quickly. Great fix, Lewis
