Thanks for the input guys. I would go for the 1 piece detachable for the crossbones (thanks for the tip about not needing the relocation kit) but my gf is BARELY gonna use it. I was thinking of getting a second hand one from eBay maybe cos for the once or twice a year she'll use it, not to mention that it'll only be for about 20 mins at a time, it's not worth me buying new. I'll keep searching, thanks guys

The crossbones type sissybar (1 piece detachable) looks great when it's on and most who have it never even take it off since it looks so good. It doesn't really look as much like a sissybar, especially if you leave the pad off the back. Gives the bike a great look in my opinion. You can definitely get one off of Ebay (that's where I got mine). If it has imperfections just spraypaint it.
