I recently installed the road zeplin seat, which is thicker then the stock seat. My wife says the sissy bar is now to low. My detachable sissy bar measures 12.5" from the rear fender to the top of the pad. Is there a taller detachable sissy bar available. All the bars I see say they are 12" tall. Without the pad. I can't find a measurement that includes the pad. Would like one 16" from the fender to the top of the pad
