Mine is a 24" from The Forge. My main goal was trying to get the backrest pad up higher in my OL's back, but from an aesthetic's thing the taller one also works with the ape hangers.
Here's one side view pic and I have some more in my photo section of my profile...
So after a long search for the perfect sissy bar for my 2013 wide glide, I finally narrowed it down to the bowman sissy bars. Problem is, I feel the 16" is a little too short and the 24" a little too tall. 20" would be ideal I think but they aren't offered in that size.
I was wondering if anyone here has pictures of either the 16" or 24" from a side view so I can get a better idea of the difference between the two.
I've seen a few posts with these sissy bars but none with the angle I need for the comparison.
Originally I wanted the GINZ sissy bar but dang they are expensive. So far my Bowman has been great, installed shortly after I got my Bob just over 2 years ago. I have the 16" the 24" is just too tall for my taste. Wife says that the Bowman is not as uncomfortable as it may look and I use the sissy bar to tie my bag (s) when doing long rides. For the money it's hard to beat the Bowman.

OP
Make you a hellofa deal on this one - Eagle included..., back pad not
That's a 13 WG it mounted on..., or was - I went with one a bit more custom
I'm in the exact same position as you. Have a wide glide and was trying to decide between the two. I actually emailed him asking if he'd make a 20'' for my wide glide and this was his response... "No problem, I can send you an invoice through PayPal. It will be $260 plus shipping(and tax if you live in Texas). If you are interested, I'll need your address to calculate shipping.
Thanks,
Jeff
Be sure to post pics so i can now how mine will look, what size apes are those?
