4' Tall Loop ?????

[Baldy Jeff]

4' Tall Loop - Who knows anything 'bout this beauty? Is it a Bill Matthews ? Had it stored for years + still minty. Could use very light cleanup, but no scratches. Looks previously mounted, but washer marks are worst imperfections. Any help appreciated! TY

Jeff, that's an awesome sissy bar, and yes, I do think it's a Bill Matthews, however, some of the literature I have indicates his had a circle on the back versus this oval, so I'm not certain. On our FB Stingray pages, Joe Martinez is a great SME on sissybars, I'd ask him.

I am finishing a chopper custom build and I'd be interested in this if you are going to sell it, feel free to PM me, thanks

That one was manufactured by Snyder Manufacturing, I don't have the ad handy, but it isn't a Bill Matthews bar.

Here is a link to an old John Brain website with an ad for the bar.

Found exact bar on old ebay auctions. I will be selling eventually, but not excited 'bout shipping something so fragile.

John had some great reference information out on the net years ago, but lost domain hosting at some point. I found that randomly one day and have it saved in my browser. I'm actually surprised it still worked!
