Had that one before. Worked as advertised, looked good, but it did lack some style IMO

Yeah it will work as a back rest, but looks like crap-like and after thought. I mean if your were to go that route you might as well just get a normal sissy bar as it would look better and be stronger.

Ahhh the haters I ordered one and got 15% off as well. Easy on/off and my lady won't be clinched to me all day long when it's 95 degrees out. The more I stared at sissybars the more I disliked them. All personal preference.

Ride safe

Well I'm def not getting a sissy bar for style cause I hate the look of them its purely for the woman! But I was wondering what a passenger thinks about the way it leans back alittle opposed to a straight 90 deg setup???

My girlfriend loves it, and I bought it to use as a backrest for her. Turns out I leave it on most of the time because it looks good anyway. The other day, she peeled and ate an orange while sitting there on the way to a friend's house.
