Default any fatbob owners with QD sissy bar?

Hey everyone,

I am thinking about adding a sissy bar to my fat bob. I will be using it primarily to mount a small bag on the back but to occasionally carry a passenger. I was wondering if most of you guys are using the quick detach unit or one that is permanently bolted on? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I have one with a quick detach, but I never really take it off. The bags with my maps and gps are on it so I would get lost if I didn't have it with me.

I have the quick detach and I also use it for my bag and my wife enjoys the added safety and comfort.
You can't see it but I also added a luggage rack. The bag is resting on the luggage rack.

I was thinking about the sissy bar/luggage rack issue for mine, but I have a solo seat and don't want the luggage rack going to the rear of the sissy bar. My idea of a perfect setup would be that the luggage rack comes forward instead of to the rear where any luggage strapped to it would almost act as a backrest when strapped to the bike.

hey pois, that seat looks pretty comfy. How's the wife like the back seat? Does the rear section scratch the fender?

Where did you get your seat/sissy bar/rack set-up? Who's the manufacturer? That's what I've been looking for to appease the Lil' lady.
