Mine is a Ginz Chopper. It's 25" up... I like the bar, but the mounting on the WG leaves a little to be desired.

If you want a pics, I'll take one for you tomorrow.

I bought a 15" sissy bar, brackets and pad together from Frantic Custom Cycles. The pad was okay, but replaced it with a Mustang for two-up riding. I put on a low Custom Chrome grab rail when I don't carry a passenger or tall bags.

a company on ebay makes these in various sizes and finish... i like them because they are all one piece and the sideplates dont stick up past the struts like harleys silly design does..

I had a custom tubular sissy bar and a separate luggage rack for use with my solo seat. They bolt to the outer side of the struts. I had nuts tacked to the inside of the fender so that I could easily make the switch. This style allows the mount to also act as grab handles. I like the look of tubular custom parts and exposed welds. They match the upper motor mount and side mount license plate bracket that I had fabricated.

**I will try to load pictures, I can't get them to load from my iPad

here are those pics I offered... sorry, the garage is very tight.

It's raining here, so I'll try again tomorrow when the sun is out so you can see more of it.

I like the setup, but again, the side brackets leave a little to be desired.

I've got a 24" sissy bar from these guys on my Street Bob and I love it. Built well, and has very subtle side plates.

No doubt the quality is great. I love the bar. I just don't understand why they went to high up from the WG's fender.
