Looks better with or without the sissy bar?

I've always LOVED those style of sissy bars. I just put the Burly sissy bar on my ride. However, I think it looks a little off without the rear seat. I think it'd flow a bit better with a 2 up seat, but still looks awesome with it!

Iv got a few shirts I like, but I wouldn't like wearing them every day. So I wash and store them till next time I'm in the mood or need them. I like it with the bar a lot and without the bar, just change it when your ready.

It's an odd empty space with nuthin' there. Now if you had a 2up seat or even a simple pillion, the sissy bar would look more like it belonged there...

I also have a detachable sissy bar from HD that I have ridden with and without. Enjoy the option!!
I like it, especially that it's detachable. That way you can ride it either way that suits you on a particular day.
You can always add something to it to give it some "spice".
Here's mine (not detachable)-
It can also be very useful-
Here I am packed up about half-way thru a 2500 mile trip....handy place to strap stuff to.

That's a nice sissy bar, DK. Looks sharp! 
I think you have to wait 5 days and have 5 posts to see attached photos.

It looks kinda neat on that bike , doesn't kill the "blackout" look much at all.
Who's is it , I'd put one like that on my 48 for sure , especially if it's a quick change.
A small pillion would let you run a backpack forward and not scratch the rear fender too bad , and handle better if you loaded heavy for a trip.
