Don't look bad with it on, the sissybar looks better raw than with the pad on it back there.
Still IMO without the rear seat on I prefer the sissybar off for cruising, it just looks cleaner.
Although it would be great for trips to have something to tie items onto.

If U look at my sig pic, I bought the wife touring seat & pad, then took the stock pillion, collecting dust anyway, cut it down and made a solo back-rest out of it. I use it instead of a fender bib. Made to never sit on, for looks only so I had it covered to match the studs on the bags. Its great on the back on solo trips.

IMO its the best look of my bike.... better without the big rear seat and sissybar the same as Urs is.

 

i think unless you're also running the pillion and backrest , it looks better without

sweet looking bike

 

very nice

 

I think it's straight. How hard is it to take off that passenger seat? That's one of those "free" and "DIY" mods that I need to do asap when I get mine.

 

Your bike looks great. Not sold on the sissy bar with a solo set. Kinda like "why?".

 

That's what my wife says, but she doesn't understand why I want to modify the bike from stock anyway. I told her I want it to be personalized for me. She just says leave it alone, it looks fine the way it is. LOL, Oh well...

 

The rear seat is easy, just one screw on the back and then the whole thing pops off. Very easy to do.

 

good morning no bike riding here iin boston to much rain lol. i have the fatboy lo just put on the rush black mufflers they sound 2 inch baffle, the dealer just put on my back rest it is meduim low round type gloss black looks preety good . one good thing i can take it on and off.

 

It looks sweet.. I'm getting ready to get the rear fender bib to do the same when I ride solo....

 

Which rear seat do you have on yours? My wife would like to have a bigger rear seat when she rides and yours doesn't look stock. Thanks....
