Default Sissy bar

I have noticed a lot of you guys have sissy bars on your bikes. I really like the look and it will also serve to hold a small bag for a little bit of storage on my bike. When the dealer I bought the bike from posted it online, it had a sissy bar on it. When I bought the bike they had remove the bar because they said that some of the welds had broke and it looked unsafe. Then they couldn't find what they did with it. Oh well. I have the buttons still on the bike to add another one but in the limited searches that I have done I really can't find what I like. For those that have sissy bars could you post what kind and where you found it?

TIA

I've got the same one as above but I don't believe mine is as tall. I bought it so my girlfriend doesn't have to squeeze the **** out of me anymore when riding. When I get time I want to get another set of detatchable side plates and fab up one out of twisted square stock.

I really like the look of these and on your bike it looks awsome.

You have a pic from the side? Your's just looks taller. I know you've got 10" bars vs my 12" bars but I thought I saw a pic a while back that your was just as tall, if not taller than your bars. Maybe it's just an optical illusion.
