Default Looks better with or without the sissy bar?

I picked up this sissy bar and removable sideplates for my Iron just for strapping luggage for long trips. I put it on and kinda dig it but I also like it without as well. What do you think? (honestly please)

The good thing is it removable so easy on and off for different looks.

I prefer without, thats just my style. How do you think it looks better? I think it would look alot better if you had high rise bars along with the sissy.

Personally not a fan. I've always thought a bar without a passenger seat just looked strange.

Without, doesn't match the style of your bike, would look pretty cool on something like a 72.
It probably looks fine with a sleeping bag & stuff strapped on but I'd take it off the rest of the time.

I guess it depends on the look you’re going for. I think without it you get the more rugged sporty look which is what I like so I would say no to the sissy bar.
