Nothing looks funnier to me than someone trying to turn a motorcycle seat into a Lazy-Boy for the passenger with some big a$$ed back rest.

I think the best advice you are gonna get is PUT ON DETACHABLES!!!
I think the mini's look the best if you are setup with low bars. if you have apes you need a taller sissy. But if its detachable you can change at your whim...
Trust me on this.

just go with what you like...
this is what i have on mine.. i love the seat.. guessing its maybe a harley seat.. means it does say sportster on it.. i have no clue.
sorry i have no idea what the seat or backrest is.. b/c is the way i bought the bike.. but after many test rides on differnt bikes this one had the best seat.. and the whole bike was the best bang for my buck...
but as for the backrest i have had no complaints fromt he riders ont he back.. or the regular back back or coat i strap to it.

If the bar is too short or the pad too wide you can't rest a helmit on it without the helmit hitting the fender.
If you want to strap a bag to the bar it should be as tall as is reasonable.

I thought the purpose of a passenger seat was to carry bags when on a trip.
Many of the bags available have adjustable 4-point tie down systems, and you don't even need a sissy bar to use them.
Plus, the 'hard formed' bags also make a great lumbar/back rest for those long runs, so they serve a dual role, both storage and comfort...
