Sure, I've made lots of things like sissy bars. The first one, when I was a dumb kid, started out as a bicycle "high rise" bicycle sissy bar, the kind that used to be used with "banana" seats. It even had a pad on it that I made out of wood, shaped like a star, and the girl friend covered with cheap vinayle. I wish I had a picture of it so I could laugh now. A few years later, my Triumph chopper had a square bar sissy bar, which I welded up. Chroming it was the most expensive thing. Don't care for sissy bars anymore, but I have a fabricated luggage rack that doubles as a pillion support on my BA. The hardest thing about making stuff look good is smoothing the welds. I've found that a belt sander with a medium grit does a great job. Get some steel, and go to town!
