Default Custom Sissy Bar For A WG?

I have a friend who is a blacksmith, a true artist, and I'm thinking about having him make me a new sissy bar for my 2011 FXDWG. I was thinking about a twisted square stock about 2 1/2-3' tall, PC'ed black.

2 questions though: #1 should I have him make me a detachable, or permanent one?
#2 does anyone have one on theirs? I'd love to see pics!

Any advice would help, thanks!



And here's the bike:

It would be for function, but if he makes it it'll be a work of art. It would be for strapping bags to on road trips and the OL to lean on. I can make a pad for it myself. If I get it detachable would it look silly?
