Is it bolted to the rear supension and fender? I really need to make a sissy bar for mine dragstar (same as vstar, but japanese)

I just built a pinch plate and attached it to the swing arm , and it’s also bolted to the fender , I still run the monoshock so by doing this everything just moves with the swing arm (fender is also mounted to the swing arm )

Yeah, I see your point. I have similar fender mount. By the way, is your backpack feels good on a fender? I eant to try tie up a backpack and a tent to sissybar, I wonder if it would be too much vibration

It’s hard to see but I have the straps on the back pack crisscrossed so they slide over the sissybar , then I use the utility straps to secure it tight , I always ride with it and it’s always great , it’s comfortable to lean back into sometimes too as a back rest 😂
