Default Rocker Sissy Bar

OK guys, what do you think? It looked bettter in my head than on the bike but I have to much time in it to totally trash it. Ihad to make a couple of brackets to move it rearward because the DG seat sets further back than the FXCW seat.

I thought sissy bars were more for passengers, because they don't have handlebars to hold on to. Still, it's an interesting look, though I may not understand a purpose.

One thing I always try to consider when fabricating motor vehicles (or parts) is the potential for injury in a crash. Got some pretty pointy parts there.

It is different. I always wanted a sissy bar on my rocker. For a little back support and for bouncing down the highway....I guess I could slow down??
