I'm trying to get a measurement of what would look good on the bike. So I was taking the tape measure and going from the top of the passenger pad; is that about right to get a feel of how I high I want to go? Or is the bar measured as a whole from the very bottom to the top?

Thanks...

 

Not really sure if this helps, but get the medium one. And just know that you will see one later and wish you would have got that one. I currently have a small pile in the back of my shop of sissy bars that weren't perfect.

 

This my sissy. It's the tallest one that I had slim do a couple of cross bars on. Please forgive the ugly sundowner seat ha.
