Default Sissy Bar Options?

Has anyone tried this setup? http://www.jbfabrication.com

If anyone has this set up, do you have any pics?

I have not seen this product but I'll give you my opinion. If I wanted a removable sissy bar, I would go with the Harley version. It looks cleaner when removed. Also, the short back rest isn't the best arrangement for a T-bag. A taller back rest does a better job of securing the bag. And finally, I know of very few folks who have installed the removable sissy bar that actually take them off.

I'll have to agree with Oldgeezer.

I believe mine has the removable mini sissy bar. I mainly use it for a helmet holder when my bike is parked. Not much function there. If you carry a passenger or are looking to ride long distance you should consider a full sissy bar for passenger comfort and also it allows you to pack on bigger bags. Hope this helps.

Here is a picture of my bike with the backrest:

I have a medium height sissy bar on my Sportster. My wife picked it out, and as long as she's happy, I get to be happy too!
