    hi have not seen a set on a sporty since back in 1995 on a 1200 , but do you realy need them  ? ,    as i went faster than  that bike did  on a different 1200 sporty  with no sissy bars, unless your looking too go under 10 sec's 1/4 mile times

    Honesty there not to hard to make yourself. Put solid stuts in place of your shocks and get. Some hime joints and mild steel pipe. Find some to copy.

    I no longer have a place or the desire to fabricate...this way, when I'm finished with them I can easily sell the set to someone else. :)

    hi if the bars are not made good  or set up well , when you need them most they can bend  or fold up  &  then you will smash arse-up , take off @ 6,000 rpm  & back flip over , the bad thing is that you have too carry them all the way down the drag strip  as well just so you can take off proper , i do 1.5 something 60 ft'er  on a stock harley tyre on a stock screaming eagle bike

    Got the Pingle bars coming for $353. There will be around 100hp on tap with the 883...probably more to come. If I can do a 1.50 60' first time out I will be tickled to death to say the least.

     with about 100hp i don't think you will need them ,   i did 11.4  sec @ 117 mph on a 91 hp sporty back in 1996 on threaded tyres without no bars on the arse ,   they only wheelstand on ya  when the end of the clutch meets the power  , where abouts are or is Rockvale TN,                                           we have Screaming Eagle Drags here in Sydney that we are looking for more people too come &  race in

    If I can get the little motor to run the 11.50 index I would like to give the SEP class a shot. I'm in the US.
