Default Sissy bar with solo seat?
Would a short sissy bar look ok on my wife's new Slim with its solo seat?

Indeed. I've got a 16inch bowman. The slim is perfect for any sissy bar.

Don't know. What do you think? Better yet, what does she think or want?

What she thinks is irrelevant! Ok, maybe it matters a little. I'm thinking a short sissy bar would look sweet.

Sure. Even a little rack that hugs the fender. Since a short sissy is good for packing things on.

I've got a short one on mine and love it. I also have the same one SoCal has that I'm selling if you're interested.
