Looking for a sissy bar that would fit my 83 XS650. If anyone has one for sale or knows where I could get one please let me know!
 
Yeah i'd rather get the taller old school style, trying to set up a passenger back rest / duffel bag mount
 
This one looks good - https://www.ebay.com/itm/113224486879?ul_noapp=true
I asked the distance between the 2 mounting holes - 8.25 in, and how much the back ones stick out from the frame- 1 1/4 in, looks to be the right distance for my bike. But I think the bar that goes across in the back will be blocked by my tail light, looks like the 78 has the tail light further back away from the seat.
Might have to try to bend it to fit or make something myself

You can spend a lot of time and money trying to mix and match. If you are looking for ease and fitment try finding one like this.

Then you will need to find the sissybar to go with it.
You will end up with something like this, which is not exactly the same thing. . . . . . but the same concept. Two different manuacturer's.
Notice the sissy bar will slide for depth control of the sissy bar. Forward if you have no bags/passenger, rearward if you do.

Hey man, follow this link to the posting I have of all my xs stuff. You will see 1 bike with a sissy bar and a pick of 3 sissy bars hanging from my basement ceiling. Let me know if you are interested and I can take measurements of the bolt pattern for you and let's make a deal.

Thanks,

Samgar
