YikHouMall 22" Passenger Backrest Sissy Bar for Harley Touring 1997-2008 — Detachable Polished Steel, Cushioned Pad

This heavy-duty sissy bar upright and pad give the pillion a higher, more secure back support while preserving the bike's streamlined profile. Built from 1.5-inch seamless steel tubing and polished for a smooth finish, the assembly comes with side plates and a cushioned pad and is engineered for long-term use on Road King, Electra Glide, Street Glide and Road Glide platforms that have the proper docking kits.

Will this 22" sissy bar fit my Harley Touring model?

Yes, it fits 1997–2008 Road King, Electra Glide, Street Glide and Road Glide motorcycles provided the bike has the necessary docking hardware. Some 2006–2008 FLHTC models require the detachable tour trunk rack mounting kit and the specified docking kit part numbers listed below.

• Compatible with models using docking kits for the passenger backrest.
• 2006–2008 FLHTC may need P/N 53303-07A rack kit and P/N 53803-06 docking hardware.
• Confirm your motorcycle’s existing docking plates before purchase for direct fitment.

How durable and corrosion-resistant is the sissy bar assembly?

The upright, side plates and mounting hardware are fabricated from heavy-gauge metal and polished multiple times to produce a resilient surface that resists peeling and reduces corrosion risk. This construction aims to hold up under road exposure and regular use.

• 1.5" seamless steel tubing for core strength and rigidity.
• Multiple polishing passes create a smooth, long-lasting finish.
• Robust side plates and fasteners designed for secure mounting and reduced movement.

How easy is installation and removal of the detachable backrest?

Installation is designed to be straightforward when your motorcycle is already equipped with compatible docking hardware. The detachable mechanism uses aligning holes and a latch rotation that lets you install or remove the upright and pad quickly without complex tools.

• Detachable design allows tool-free latch rotation for removal or installation.
• Align mounting holes on side plates to the bike’s docking points for a secure fit.
• Includes all primary components: upright, pad, left and right side plates.

What are the visual and comfort benefits of the 22" curved design?

The 22-inch height and gently curved profile lift the passenger’s backrest higher than stock low bars, improving perceived support while maintaining a clean, streamlined appearance. The angled tilt of the bar creates extra legroom and a sleeker silhouette on touring bikes.

• Curved, tilted design adds room for taller passengers and a modern look.
• Padded cushion provides immediate lumbar contact for passenger comfort.
• Taller stature complements touring silhouettes without bulky hardware.

Who is this for: Riders who own 1997–2008 Harley Touring models and want a tall, removable passenger backrest with a polished metal finish and durable construction. It suits owners seeking improved passenger support and a streamlined style while retaining the option to remove the assembly for solo riding. Verify your bike’s docking hardware and, for certain FLHTC years, the listed rack and docking kit part numbers prior to ordering.
