Default Sissy bar attachment

Hey, I wanted to thank everyone for posting pictures of their Fat Bobs with the Bobtail Fender Rack - put mine on last weekend. So, bought a set of studded sissy bar bags from Leatherup.com, and am wondering if anyone else is using these (or similar bag setup ) bags, and what sissy bar you are using? I have the fender rack, so, trying to decide on what type of sissy bar to use. I attached a picture of the bag setup.

I have a set of those bags that I've never used. I have other ones that I prefer. On the other hand, just get some fairly tall sissy bars, tall enough to handle your highest piece of luggage. The sissy bar that I use for these purposes measures 15" from the absolute bottom to the peak of the arc. Another inch or three would be even better.

I have a fender rack and also a sissy bar rack, so I switch between the two when packing for a road trip, it just depends on if I'm running solo or not.

I also run with saddlebags most of the time. The other bags I only put on for longer trips when I need to carry things that won't fit in the saddle bags. I like to keep the weight low if I can.
