I really like the look of the really tall sissy bar. Kind of fits the chopper look -- you see I'm trying to keep a unique look. the shorter sissy bars just remind me too much of a regular cruiser. My sissy bar is for function as well as looks, but actually both equally. I want to be able to get my backpack off my back and onto a carrier support. The luggage rack made for the fury: Fury Rack
is a formed rack and not IMHO really a luggage rack, but more of a rear fender bib. I'm taking a lot of care on mounts, and looks of mounts, etc. I want Blue J to have a distinct look. The Highway Hawk bars are too low for me here is a sample of the archer: HH Archer Bar . Some of my buddies on the Fury Forum have those and they look real nice, but I wanted a different look. Plus I'm not crazy of the mounts on that bar. Invicta has one and it looks great:
Because he has a black bike and his mounts are black, so they don't stick out, but chrome on blue would not be a good look to me, if you see the mounting brackets on the Highway Hawk.
So anyway, this is the bar I want to get:
Mine is going to be chrome, Plus I'm not sure which luggage rack to go for either welded on or detachable. This picture might even be the "extreme" size.
ANYWAY... AGAIN...
So I'm saving up for this and haven't been buying anything and tossing around maybe I should just get the Highway Hawk cause it's like half the price... lol but I really don't want to sacrifice! So, by maybe another 3-4 weeks from now I'll be able to get it, right? and guess what? DH comes home and drops a cool hundred on me and tells me to get my sissy bar! Tells me he's donating to my sissy bar fund! Yippee for me! Now I'm psyched! Tomorrow I'm ordering for sure!
Will finish this post tomorrow after I order.
WEDNESDAY
Hoo-Ray! I got my bar ordered! The guy Gary at Ginz Choppers was nothing short of fabulous on the phone. Answered all my questions, and gave me sound advice on what to choose for what I was going for. I decided on the Hell Bent Extreme, with the Welded-on Hell Bent Luggage rack, plus the Maltese Cross insert (pictured above). We had discussed whether to go Extreme or Monolith, which is 25" or 30", so he is going to make my 25" Extreme bar an extra 1" just to give a kick up, at no additional charge. He also bumped my production time up to tomorrow!!!!!!! and send it for chroming Tuesday which takes about a week, and if things go well, he might be able to ship it the following week! He's on West Coast, I'm on East coast, so FedEx is about 4 days. I'm looking at a possible 2 1/2-3 week delivery time...how fabulous is that!!!!!! I'm real excited. Blue J is going to look so kewl. Not only i think the sissy bar height is going to be a great look, I'm real glad i added the Maltese Cross Emblem Insert. That's going to look kewl, too. A nice touch. It also matches my Tank Bib where i embroidered one on the bib. I also think i made the right move to get the Hell Bent welded-on luggage rack. Reasons we discussed, were that to have the luggage rack, if i was going to have it on a lot, it made a better look to have it match the bar; didn't look so "out of place". The detachable s were good, too, so you could run with just the bar if you wanted to, however my decision rested on the fact that I would be using the rack often and wouldn't care to be taking it on and off, so since it would be on most of the time, I'd rather have the classy matching look, so we went with the welded-on route.
Okee Dokee... That's it for now, gonna go cruise the forum.
Cheers!
