    Default Passenger sissy bar opinion

    I'm surprised at the lack of Sissy Bar options for the Freewheeler - The stock bar is too straight up and has no adjustment - Im going to pull it off and take by a muffler shop an attempt to to reshape it so it leans back more - If I have to heat it with a torch ( Which ruins the chrome ) I will just paint it black - As Is stock just doesn't work for us , needs to be taller also ,But that's just my opinion

    Oh baby.

    Did that Ginz slip right into the stock sissybar mount? And does it sit farther back than stock? I have a Corbin, and my ol' lady has a crotch full of backrest. My seat is back a couple inches from stock, and she's kinda crushed.

    Yes. You send them the HD sissy bar and they modify it. It is jigged/tooled well as it plugged right in. It does not sit back further than stock though. You would need to talk to them about how best to do that. I had them make a top to bottom sissy bar pad as well. I have thought about making a seat pan with a King and Queen arrangement.... but that will be a much later chapter in this build.

    I like that with the armrests.If I had a full time night woman Id go with something like that.But I just have the stock sissybar and backrest.Besides-my dog carrier is up against it.

    Yeah, they're designed well, but my seat is too far back to even think about using that. Mine is probably 3-4" farther back than yours.

    Default Sissy Bar

    I'm running a actual TriGlide seat with a passenger back rest very similar to yours - The TriGlide seat is 17" wide up front and 15" wide in back - Also the front nose section is very soft which is nicer on the " Peeps" when your on a rough road or street

    It's a Corbin Freewheeler seat. No specs really, they ask how tall you are, inseam, whatever, and build it for you. Very customized!

    Default Backrest lean back

    On my 2017 FreeWheeler After I tried to bend my bar back and ruining it. I bought another one. I and using a 2017 ultra classic Sundowner seat, which make it tight fit to back rest with the Corbin wrap around backrest. I ended using spacers under the screws on the backrest base. Put 5 small shim type washers out and used longer screws to make backrest bar sit straight up. Then passenger can have room to move around some

    Default Shims

    I tried shims made out of washers and stack them about 3/8 inch tall - Still didn't give me the angle I wanted - The local fabrication shop clamped it to a table - Heated it at the first bend and pulled it back about 1-1/2 inches - Couldn't be happier with the result - Harley really missed the ball by not making this adjustable in the first place.

    Maybe the aftermarket people will offer a better option one of these days - Like a 24" tall version

    Yeah I know, well kinda. I have a Corbin that I went to the Corbin shop in Daytona and ordered my seat, we never did the inseam details. My seat is up and back I want to say 2 inches and wider than normal, but they told me I could not have a backrest with the way we set up the seat, was hoping that had changed.

    Gotcha. You'd definitely need to get in touch with them. My seat came with the backrest mount incorporated... ol' lady talked me into one, and it slides in just fine, she's just regretting it a bit because it definitely infringes on her space. I have to rock it forward or it tries to get pretty intimate with her, and if I lean back and the backrest pivots back, I hear about it pretty quick.

    I might have to do that.... although now that I dropped the coin on the 19 and transferred the corbin over I have other stuff I need to pick up first LOL never ends right....
