I have never seen this answered and I've been looking all over the forums: Will a sissy bar and luggage rack from a Honda Magna VF750 (99-03) fit an 03 BA?

I don't think it would be a slam dunk fit but find one and measure it! From the saddlebag brackets we know the frame rail bolts are the same distance apart front to rear but we also know the rails of the magna taper less than the America. You can use a spacer for the brackets but I'd be less comfortable about a rack. The critical thing would be measuring the rails side to side and the shape of the rails on each side.

No they do not. I have both biles here. Thought the same thing but the holes do not line up correctly and would require more then just a drill to modify.
But the mirrors, footpegs, carbs, handgrips, handlebars, oil filter are interchangeable.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

So the carbs work huh, does that mean they are the same as what we have or are they different but also work on our bike???

Thanks, Dinqua. That's what I really wanted...a direct yes or no. I'll be going with the Deuce sissy/luggage now. I'm not afraid to drill holes, but I am afraid to spend over $300 when I don't need to.

Why not just get the Triumph one made for our bikes?

I don't really need to answer this, do I?

I know, Soren. And, I would like it too if I had a money tree in my backyard.

I definitley understand that. I got mine when I bought my bike new, so it didnt hurt as much having it added onto the financing bill.
Maybe post a "Wanted" ad in the classified section and see if anyone has one they would let go at a good deal (just a suggestion).

I attempted that at one time and got a hit...$200 and $100 for shipping. I guess that would save me about $15 over New Bonneville's web site. Yay. Nobody will part with one for anything reasonable (reasonable to me that is), so unless someone can match the price of the HD sissy, I'm going that route.

I paid under $200 for a used tall triumph sissybar and luggage rack. You just gotta be patient and watch for the right deal. Definitely post a want ad in the classifieds.

Biles? I get it, Bikes 
Anyway, given one has the L brackets, would the sissy bar and luggage rack mount up? Never thought to look at Jane's sickle in that way

They are CVK carbs, look just like ours but probably have different floats as they sit at a 45º angle in the bike.

If I understand correct... A sissybar for a h-d deuce can be fitted for our bike?? Does it require massive fabrication?
Just say NO........To holiday riders!
