I ordered and installed the mounting hardware, adjustable/detachable sissy brackets, sissy bar, and the wide (smooth) backrest pad. Night and day... Passengers love it and it doesn't look bad at all. Spend the extra $100 for the adjustable brackets. The passenger can lean back or sit up straight.

Yeah this is good advice. Wish I would have known better before buying the non adjustable ones.

I got the non adjustable one with a pad but it pushed her so far forward, we took it off. I thought she'd be uncomfortable with a bare bar but apparently she doesn't lean back on it. Problem averted.

So in fact you could take it off 'cause you/she don't use/need it
