Sissy - 11" Low vs 16" mid

Thiis is my first HD, a 2005 XL883Custom and looking at picking up a sissy bar for her. I would like to see some pics of other sporty's with either the 11" backrest or the 16" - that way I can decide which to go with. Also, if anyone has any pros/cons on either?

Here's mine... it measures 11" from top to bottom of upright insert. I think it's ideal because it's tall enough to support a passenger without standing out too much. My 2 cents anyway.

Go with the Low model (16"?). I had the med. low shorter one on for a long while and my wife always complained that it would dig in her lower back above the belt line and never really offered any support to lean against. I switched to the low and its much better (only 2" taller actually with pad than the med. low). For me it was not about looks but comfort for my wife and it's on detacheables so when not needed its not on anyway.
