Review: Awesome price and great product. Changes the look of the bike for the better. - Great value for the price. Nice looking product and very sturdy. Use lock Tite on the fasteners obviously. No instructions but it's kind of obvious really. Should take 30 minutes or less to install. Included hardware was all I needed on my 2010 iron 883. Another just like this one on desertcart has some comments about a wrinkly finish but I don't find that to be the case with this vendor and had a great price with faster shipping so I took the chance. No regrets, the finish matches the engine pretty good, same color and texture. Review: Provided Bolts Should Be Replaced - The Good: Overall the sissy bar itself is excellent quality. It is sturdy and solidly welded. The docking attachments are metal and painted black. They feel sturdy, though, per another comment, I have added some Loctite 243 to the retaining bolts (3mm hex head drive). The paint is not perfect, but it is well enough done that the bar doesn't look like a poorly conceived, cheap add-on (it don't look like trash). I was especially surprised with the quality of the backrest cushion. I expected to immediately need to remove and re-upholster it or replace it. However, it is firm, and the covering material seems to be of quite high quality--it does not look or feel out of place on the bike. I've noticed several comments saying the packaging was insufficient, but mine arrived double-boxed and bubble wrapped. There was no damage. The bolts, nuts, and flanges were inside a stapled, folded and zip-tied heavy duty plastic bad attached to the base of sissy bar. There were no pieces missing. The Bad: Installation was easy, but I feel that the provided hardware (bolts and nuts) should be re-thought and replaced. The original hardware is SAE (Front Bolts: Button Head, T40 5/16-24, 1 3/4"; Rear Bolts: Button Head, T40 5/16-24, 1 1/4"), but the replacement hardware is metric and far too long (6.5 cm, or appx. 2 1/2"). This wouldn't really be a problem if it was a simple matter of just replacing the bolts and nuts. However, the original nuts are locking nuts. That is, they are tapered slightly so that as the bolt enters the nut the combination tightens and locks the bolt into place at the proper depth. This feature is completely absent in the replacement hardware provided. I used some Loctite 243 on them, but I'm still not confident they will stay in place indefinitely. The other issue is the length of the provided bolts. Remember that these bolts are protruding into your wheel well. Harley sized the bolts to ensure clearance for the tire. I'm not sure that if I bottom out my suspension on a hard bump that I won't also end up with a catastrophic blowout. desertcart was terrible on their end. This is a Fulfillment By desertcart (FBA) product--if the product says that it is in stock that means desertcart has it in their possession at one of their warehouses. There were 17 in stock when I ordered. After two weeks without shipping the product, I contacted desertcart to find out why I was still waiting. 17 representatives and 14 "technical difficulties" on the representatives' side later all I could get from desertcart was "It's stuck, cancel your order and re-order at a higher transport rate." I absolutely refused and demanded that they fulfill the terms of our contract--it eventually showed up and I never got an explanation. ## Features - Good Compatibility: ONLY Compatible with 2004-later XL models (except 2016-later XL1200CX).

The grommets supplied for Sissy bar retention and also the detachable lock pins on the Sissy bar are made of plastic - wish they were made of metal/steel. No installation instruction - used UTube (you will need a spanner to hold the flange nut under the rear fender for taking off the factory nuts). ## Frequently Bought Together - 7BLACKSMITHS Passenger Backrest Pad Sissy Bar Cushion Fit for 2004&up Harley Sportster XL XLH 883 1200 Black Detachable - WOWTK Passenger Footpeg w/Mount Kit,Rear Passenger Footrests Pedal w/Mount Kit for Harley Sportster Forty-Eight 48 Seventy-Two 72 883 1200 2014-2022,Black - WOWTK Leather Rear Passenger Seat Pillion Fits for Harley Sportster 48 72 XL1200X 2016-2022 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/183172721-passenger-backrest-pad-sissy-bar-cushion-fit-for-2004-up](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/183172721-passenger-backrest-pad-sissy-bar-cushion-fit-for-2004-up) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
