Yes, i agree, installed, it is probably 18" from the fender surface to tip of bar.... Yes, from a K9, 300 tyreIt is 22" if you measure it from tip to tip. Is is 18" installed from top to fender.
My 2009 K9 has a tapered fit sissy bar, but my earlier K9's had a straight/square fit into the rail/strut.Here's a copy of the tapered bushing (that I made) it goes in the strut to make up for tolerances in the hole.
