I agree it looks righteous with AND without ...taller ones would complement the pipes IMHO

With - but only a higher bar may be as high as your handle bars......

Which do you prefer?
I think it looks cleaner and not a busy without the sissy bar. IMHO

Wow. 56% - 44%. This decision isn't getting much easier. I was hoping for a landslide in one direction or the other. lol. But I think the case for leaving it off is better than the case for putting it back on, so far. I am leaning toward leaving it off.

The pipes are wrong for your bike. Those pipes belong on a chopper. They are too long for the look of the bike. Your bike looks better with the sissy bar due to the pipes but it really doesn't give you that "just right" look either because the pipes look out of place. You have a Captain America look on a Billie bike. Lose the pipes and the sissy bar.

Hmm. And I thought thats where they derived their charm. I was going for an old school look. Maybe I should have done the poll on the pipes. Up until now, they have only gotten complements.
