Default Tall Sissy Bar -w- pic

I swapped out the Medium Low Sissy Bar with a Tall.
See how the wife likes it tomorrow... only one 600 mile run on the low one, and now it might be for sale soon.





Chrome Tall Sissy Bar Upright - #52749-85A
Tall Backrest Pad - Smooth, Top-Stitched - #52965-98

This is just a guess, but maybe this one will be better for her because it looks like it should hit her higher in the back and possiblly give her a little more support. Good luck on finding the right one for her.

That is what I am hoping for.
We had a Medium Low on the FXDI (RIP) and she loved it.
However, she noticed that the '06 sissy bar mounts lean back on more of an angle.
After 100 miles or so the Medium Low is not as comfortable on the 06's.

I have a medium low on mine right now and I really think it would have been tall enough if my new twoup seat hadnt been so tall. But the H-D Tallboy seat is alot taller than most of the other seats which then puts the medium low sissy bar down lower now. I've been looking at going with one of the Low sissy bar uprights and going with one of the larger contour backrest pads for her and I think that would be just what the Dr. ordered. I'm just looking for something that will be about 4 inches or so taller than whats in the pic.

110 miles and she says we have a winner. Seems that the Tall sissy bar is staying for when the bob is doing two-up duty. Looks like I will be selling the Med Low and sending our SAC luggage back for a new pocket.
