there was so many of these ugly suckers on every bike in the junk yard here in ohio that i'm afraid we may be the source of the epidemic.

quick everybody! be the first one to put a screen door flourish on the back of your scoot!

Hey those were huge in the 70s. Cant make a chop without one!

Theres probably somthing like 5 of those hanging from my garage ceiling and covered with cobwebs...

Everytime my dad would pick up another beater sohc it would have those blasted things on them along with 6 bend pull backs and a king and queen seat..

Like I said, it is an old chopper thing. These things are everywhere, I have a tall bar on mine but it does not have the sissy swirl though. Someday I might actually take pics of my bike!

These sure were popular back then, I guess guys couldn't bring themselves to date taller women.

Yet another example of the 650 being forgotten. Every single bike ever made is listed as "compatable" except for the 650.

I had one on my 360, though with a pad.

I have like 5 of them just like that. These could be spread like a disease

my sissy bar is not as tall and padded so my wife can lean back and relax when she,s on the back

If anyone wants to get rid of a midsized one, let me know.

Peace and Long Rides,

My StreetFigher, 1972 Suzuki GT250 had ape-hangers and a 1meter + sissy bar.
It helped with the wheelies when passengers leaned back on it.

madbunny · « **Reply #13 on:** July 16, 2006, 05:32:15 AM »

oh man!
these things are chromed monkey ass! $:-\$
and i don't think i'd ask my lady friend to learn back on this thing unless i weren't too fond of her.
my current sissy bar was built in two afternoons for about $26 with a minimum of hand tools and welding.
it's made out of 1/2" rod and one time i had to bungie a 13 foot boat trailer to it and drive fifteen miles across southern ohio.
i scratched the paint.
that, is a sissybar.

Against sissy bars or against towing boat trailers with them?

eldar · « **Reply #19 on:** July 16, 2006, 06:47:55 PM »

Hey I got a bar on mine with a good rest on it. I tell you, I dont need no stinking hotel! I just lean back and prop my feet and take a nap if I want. Nothing wrong with a bar. The woman loves it too since it makes things much more comfortable. Plus it does actually look good.

Uncle Ernie · « **Reply #20 on:** July 16, 2006, 07:17:32 PM »

Out West they used to catch flying jackrabbits in those. In this kind of weather, after an hours ride you got lunch on the back seat.

Well, it is a K8 mate, so anything that distracts the viewers eye from that fugly pile must be a good thing!

no wait one hot texas minute.
how long has eldar been a member and he's never posted a pic of his scoot?
did you ever notice you don't see clarlk kent and eldar at the same meet and ride??
mighty suspicious.
i wonder if he even HAS a k8.
it's probably a k0 with a side cover and tank mod!

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #23 on:** July 17, 2006, 04:45:02 AM »

Yeah, but why would he admit to having a K8? It'd be like me living in "beautiful Babe Land", and admitting to being a sheep enjoyer! (not that I am, you understand, we leave that to our "Pacific Palestinians", the Kiwis.............)
