Default Softail Custom Sissy Bar

Looking for pics of your Softail Custom sissy bars. I want to get the shortest one out there. Just trying to keep the ol' lady from falling off the back of my '89 while not losing the look the bike has. Kinda like it the way it is but...
Are there any rigid mount low profile bars out there? I've looked on the Ginz site but haven't found a bar that I like yet.

Attached is a pic of the bike.

I run the stock one but I have to say, with that seat you will not need a sissy bar for long. A few scoots with her sitting on that thing/seat will be the end of your 2-up for awhile. Atleast with my OL it would be...

I would look into a detachable bar, that way you can get the look you want when solo and just put sissy bar when she rides. Thats the set up i got and like it!

That's more like what I'm looking for. I'll look into them.

And I'll also look into a detachable version too.

Thanks guys.

Here is mine, but my lady really does not like to sit on this thing. She prefers the FLHR.

Here is the one I have. I also have the detachable side plates so I can take it off easily whenever I want.
