Default Best Sissy Bar for NightTrain

Alright, so wife has been riding with me and its becoming clear that I need to get her a sissy bar.&nbsp\\; The Train has such good lines...&nbsp\\; I'm wondering if there is a such bar that actually compliments or at least doesn't kill the look!
&nbsp\\;
What is the best looking and functioning sissy bar?&nbsp\\; I'd like to be able to take it off quickly when I ride alone.&nbsp\\; Or if it improves the look somehow perhaps I'll leave it on.......&nbsp\\; Nahhhh

The Kuryakyn Plug -N-Play under seat sissy bar mount worked well for me on my Springer. Two bolts under the seat and it on an off in seconds. Very clean!

I've seen a few Trains like mine, with the FXSTC stock sissy or FXSTC twisted sissy.&nbsp\\; Its one piece, so cleaner lines than&nbsp\\;others with side plates. I had mine powdercaoted black. Found it on ebay.

Got the same one in chrome, and it's all good and works great...
I don't use it much, so removable is the way to go...

go with the removable backrest. it looks god awful with it on.
but you barely know the passenger is even back there when they are not holding onto you for dear life. and just take it off in the matter of 2 seconds when you dont want it on
