Default Sissy Bars!

I am looking for a bigger sissy bar for my 2014 Wide Glide, But I don't know exactly what I want just yet. I know i need something bigger than the stock one.

Since my girlfriend is terrified of bikes I don't have to particularly worry about getting something for passenger use. (With my luck she'll be ready to ride as soon as I get a new sissy bar.) But I am looking looking for Ideas and suggestions.

Just curious could your sissy bar be used for a passenger or is it strictly for show?

Sure it can. It is really a solid sissy bar, all 1 PC. It is not the most comfortable for a passenger but I rarely have one.

I have a Bowman Welding sissy bar on my Fat Bob. I'm pretty sure it's the same width for the WG. Very solid one piece with a mounting plate for a backrest pad.

I rock a Slims Sissy Bar as well, for the money its the best. The only problem I have with it is there is no luggage rack option. If I felt okay about spending $700 on a sissy bar I'd go with Ginz. But I don't and so I won't. Ginz has a lot more options and luggage racks available. Bowman bars get a lot of love around here as well.

Supposedly, there is one coming. I've heard of it a few times, but have never seen it.

Luggage rack
