Sissy bar on Street Bob with solo seat?

I've been checking out his bars on ebay. Been trying to decide between the twisted and the 16" bar. Have you ever put a two up seat on your bike with the bar in place? I have a Super Glide seat that I use when the wife wants to ride and was wondering if there would be an issue with installing and removing.

A Bowman 'bar and a Mustang Cyclone seat. mostly solo, but I use a phantom suction-cup pillion for short hops with a passenger, and a two-up Saddlemen Explorer for longer rides...

You have a point. With my two-up seat, the steel tab that bolts to the fender it hits the horizontal bar on the Bowman 16". It's kind of awkward because I have to remove one bolt and loosen the other (ie the bolts that hold the tab to the seat) to get the tab to clear the bar, then re-tighten them from underneath, without really being able to see them... Luckily, I only need to do it it once or twice a year. Once installed, the seat fits fine. Let me know if pics would help.
