Jules has expressed a preference for having a Sissybar on the back of the trike

Not a problem, should be easy

Can I find a sissybar with a fitment for the CX500 custom anywhere?

Like heck as like. A number of you guys have had CX's, any ideas where I can find one to fit?

I think because it prevents you from tipping the bike over when wheeling.

Thus if you're concerned with your bike and/or your safety, you're obviously a sissy.

Or it makes the bike look ridiculous.

I don't know, been wondering the same thing myself. Not even sure what it's used for.

HAHA

come on!

a freaking sissy bar is a backrest...so people dont fall off the back of the bike.....if you're worried about falling off the back of the bike..you must be a sissy...

but the idea its there to keep you from tipping during wheeling is at least as rediculous as the name.

I was afraid of that.

I was hoping someone would know if sissybars for other bikes like the Goldwing would fit.

hey Kal does your old trike have the little luggage rack on the back? My CX had that rack which had a removeable sissy bar that attached to it. It was the hondaline luggae rack I think.

Yah but you see videos where some people go vertical with the bike and it rests on some kind of bar or something while others can go all the way back and flip over while wheeling.

Looks like a bar that the bike is resting on when it's doing that.
