Default Sissybar for nightster

Does anyone run a sissybar for a bag for long trips? Was thinking about the rack, but would be nice to have something to lean back on. Running the stock seat not 2up.

Pics or any info would be cool, and dont want throw overs bags.

I just got the rack. I don't think you'd be able to lean up against one with the stock bars and seat, unless you have gorilla arms that are 6ft long, in which case I'd have to question why you're on a Nightster and not something a bit......... larger.&nbsp\\;

The rack looks reasonably good on the Nightster... The sissy bar on the other hand... No bueno... Please don't do it.... Your Nightster will scream at you [8D]

Yeah... I don't mind the look of the solo rack at all... I considered going that route with mine, before the spring seat.&nbsp\\;

It's not something id leave on, only on the road. So I can hang a pack off of it, by the looks of some of the packs they have a back rest on them. I sit back fartehr then normal due to a seat mod. But the rack might be the ticket ...
