Ready to carry luggage
The Biltwell EXFIL features integrated tie-down points that make it easy to secure bags, duffels, and other items using straps, belts, or hooks.
The horizontal bars also function as additional attachment points, allowing you to adapt the placement of the load according to its size and shape.

The mounting bushings are CNC machined and designed to accommodate recessed hardware, helping to maintain a visually neat installation.
Classic style chrome finish
The chrome finish enhances the traditional look of the set and fits especially well with chopper, bobber, and custom-inspired Harley-Davidson Sportsters equipped with other chrome components.

Before ordering, check the exact year and the configuration of the rear of the motorcycle. Modified or aftermarket fenders, brackets, turn signals, or other accessories may affect installation.
Installation and load recommendations
Install the sissy bar using the supplied hardware and periodically check the tightness of the mounts. Distribute the luggage evenly and use suitable straps to prevent movement while riding.
Before riding, make sure the sissy bar and the load are properly secured and that no strap or part of the luggage can come into contact with the wheel, transmission, exhaust, or other moving or hot parts.
