Sissy Bar

Hello, I'm new and have been looking around the forum since I got my 2001 GZ250 a month ago. I am sorry if this has already been addressed in another thread but I swear I looked just about everywhere before posting. I am looking for a sissy bar but don't really like the standard one that is specifically designed for the GZ250. I read that the Suzuki C90 can fit after drilling a couple of holes and would like if someone can confirm that and/or give me some other information about it. Thank you!

Re: Sissy Bar

Thank you so much for the fast reply and welcome. This is the one I am looking at:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/280397561694?

It is just confusing because the pictures aren't the real product and I just don't want to buy the wrong one. Would you happen to know if there are any different styles that might not fit? Thanks again!

Re: Sissy Bar

I'm not sure.I bought mine second hand.The back rest pad is totaly different than the one that is pictured on mine.But that is probably a newer model.
:cool:

The mounting arms on the pictured backrest would fit on a lot wider bike. The 90 series Suzuki is a much larger bike with very different dimensions.

Sorry I didn't catch that it was for the 90 series the first time around.Mine was off a 800 Bolivard.

Re: Sissy Bar

I just mounted one on my 99 and all it took was drilling an addditional hole in each mounting rail. The width was perfect. It is off a early to mid 80s GS 650 .
