Ive done an older video on making a sissy bar. Here's another one! This time for the rigid shovelhead! some pretty barebones metal fabrication using a diy forge to bend things!
Thanks! I have done this so many times that I often forget that other people don't get to do it so often! Bending metal and making it do what I want is one of my favorite things to do.
I've used 9/16 hot-rolled or flat stock for all of my chick sticks. I hail from a time when guys arc welded re-rod for a short grab rail. Personally, I really like South Bay (LA) styled sissy bars. Dick Allen ran one such sissy bar on his long bike ("Locomotion"). Freddie Hernandez did likewise. Freddie built springers that resembled Dick Allen springers. You Canadians have some interesting and groovy ways of working metal! That sissy bar looks great! Good luck on the rest of that Shovel project! Best -- W
Great video, man ! 5/8 does give it some beef. Looks good What good chopper shows are on the list for TO that you recommend? Did you check out the Mama Tried show. Very best 👍
Thanks for the support! I didn't get out to mama tried. I don't know of any shows in Toronto but may 20 is Roll the Bones in Montreal. This shovelhead might be in the show if everything goes according to plan!
I really wish RUclips wouldn't mute videos for having songs in the background while I'm working in the shop. My taste is all over the place! Thanks for sharing!
@@moonbats69420 You betcha! My tastes in sounds are eclectic -- ranging from Garage to Psych to Big Band to Jazz to MoTown to Folk/Country AND Western. Yeah, RUclips needs to rethink a few things. Take care, brother.
That process is rad!

I was always taught to have sissy bars the same angle as the front forks.
I think it's a lot of preference! I prefer my sissy bars with a little more kickback than this, but everyone likes what they like!
🤘😎🤘
Thanks for the tip with that can forge. Recon that would work well for mild steel aswell?
yeah booooooooooy
