1982 Honda cm450a- new rider

#1 Unread post by Kenguy71 »

I just got my license a few months ago, picked up this very nice condition bike for 2500, I am loving how smooth it rides. Only downside is that I am unable to find a sissy bar, most people say you’d have to create one

First...welcome to TMW. I hope you find what you need.

Do you really need a sissy bar? Could you modify a back rest?

I was looking at modification of backrest or other sissy bars but I’m not very mechanically inclined, though I’m learning slowly. I finally found one used in excellent condition though it cost me 200 and change with shipping. I’ll post pics when I get it and put it on.

I also found these three, prices are reasonable but not sure about the quality and fitment size either it will work it or not. Does anybody have experience with them?

I got bags from Amazon, they are leather, very sturdy and look very nice too. I’ll dig up the link and send it
