This is a fantastic '70s super tall sissy bar, seat and killer sissy bar pad. This bar is 48 inches tall and is heavy guage steel with still decent chrome. This is much stronger then any of the new bars you can find and is solid with no cracks or splits at the usual spots. The bar pad itself is an awesome vintage piece marked Made in Japan and the purple sparkle vinyl is outstanding. As I stated you can no longer buy this style and quality sissy bar made today even the subtle details like the tight radius top of the bar to the slight reverse curve of the bar makes for a look only available in a vintage item like this.
