Default 2008 FXDF Short Sissy Bar

Hi, I was wondering what the shortest sissy bar was that would fit on my 2008 FXDF. I saw the Short Sissy Bar HD part number 52706-07, and I know it says it won't fit, but I've seen pictures of Fat Bobs with this sissy bar on them. If anyone has done this before, any advice would help me tremendously!
Thanks!

How low do you wanna go? Check out Haulen *** backrest, do a google search. I had one on my bike for a while it's sitting on the shelf now though. I think you can see in my album.

Edit: Looking again the 'short' HD might be lower. I think your issue might be with the fender width. Fat Bob's/New WG's are a good inch or more wider than other Dyna models.

It should fit, I used a chrome mini rail bar on mine, I just had to spread the bars to widen it slightly.
