Sissy bar design essentials?
I'm looking to purchase a sissy bar for securing luggage only. Bowman is now selling some in matte black without a cross bar, and they're $120 less than the gloss black with the cross bar. Is it worth the extra money just to have a cross bar? Common sense tells me that it's helpful for securing gear, but if it's not absolutely necessary, I'd rather save the money.

I got mine from him and I love the way it looks. Mine is with the mount for the seat pad. My only suggestion is to think about whether you will ever have a need to ride 2-up. In the world of HD...$120 is close to nothing.
one other thing...When I got mine...the holes didn't line up perfectly. I had to enlarge one of the holes in order to get it to fit and it was a pain in the a$$. other than that...it is one solid piece of work and looks great on the bike. If you're looking for a luggage rack to go with it...motherwell products has some nice ones that I've been looking at.
