I like mine and it serves its propose ,,,I dont know about cool,,but it sure does feel good to strap down a tent and some gear to the sissy bar for a trip,,,,

 

At the moment I have a tall sissy bar and pad for my wife to ride with. She needs something back there for comfort purposes. When she is not riding I use it to tie down my work bags to since I don't have saddlecans yet.

 

You realize your question sounds a little sissy-ish right? The sissybar is for your GF not to fall off , or otherwise tie some luggage down to.,,, unless they really are for sissies, what do you think?

 

I have one out of necessity.... My wife likes it and my little girl loves to ride, but I would not ride her without one. I have the quick detach sissy bar so I only use it when I need to as the bike looks much cleaner imo without it. It is also nice to be able to strap a bag to it when needed.

 

I was going to take mine off but it's great for bungee-ing stuff to it.

 

From to point of styling I believe in form follows function. Then again I'm too old to worry about cool. I'll leave that to the single guys with the solo seats. Make mine a sissy bar with a happy old lady.

 

I am going for a taller sissy bar to be cooler!!! One thing I have never been called, is Sissy. LoL. I am going to make one prob as tall as the handlebars. Bring it on Sissys!!!!!

 

not just 4 sissies any more, wait only sissies worry bout that!! just kidding, did not have one for 20+ years now I do the passenger likes them and just incase i have to quickly turn the throttle they stay on the back, nice to lean back on the passenger as well, depending on the bar can look cool.... oh yeah they r called back rests now sorry.

 

I've added a detachable Sissy Bar to my FXDF. My brother and son told me to loose the thing, plus also get rid of the tassles. OK, gave the tassles to my brother(He had my Heritage, so it goes with it), but kept the Sissy Bar. Need it occasionally to strap stuff on it. Does it really look that bad?

 

Chit man, I've seen some awfully cool bikes with tall sissy bars built by... well, I wouldnt call any of 'em sissys.
