Default Softail Custom Sissy Bar

Are there any rigid mount low profile bars out there? I've looked on the Ginz site but haven't found a bar that I like yet.

Attached is a pic of the bike.

I would look into a detachable bar, that way you can get the look you want when solo and just put sissy bar when she rides. Thats the set up i got and like it!

That's more like what I'm looking for. I'll look into them.

And I'll also look into a detachable version too.

Thanks guys.

Here is mine, but my lady really does not like to sit on this thing. She prefers the FLHR.

Here is the one I have. I also have the detachable side plates so I can take it off easily whenever I want.
