Default Sissy bar?
I am tossing the idea around of throwing a sissy bar on the sled. I was thinking about 14", getting it powder coated gloss black and etch it like the wheels.

What's everyones thoughts?

Useful at times - go for it. Use detachable hardware so you can take it off when the mood hits.

I bought the tall upright one (detachable, but I'll never take it off), already comes black. I don't have any pics of it on my bike yet but it looks sweet. Here's a pic taken from the internet:
