    I looking to get an original sissy bar for my bike. Does anyone know if the sissy bars from any of the earlier Maxims will fit a 1985-1986?

    Also if anyone has an original sissy bar for a 1985-1986 they are interested in selling, please private message me.

    Thanks

    are you looking for the tall or the short style I have seen both on the maxims. I have even seen a couple on ebay. I do not believe the earlier maxim bars will fit being that the entire seat was different and the 85-86 mount to the rear fender under the rear seat.

    Now I am a little confused I just looked at your pics in your signature and you have the short style on there now So you are looking for the tall one with the cushion on it correct?

    1986 Virago tall sissy bar/seat back looks pretty similar to 85-86 Maxim. Anyone know if it will work?
