Default Just wanted to share....

So added a sissy bar to the bike and was a bit skeptical because I didn't want it to take away from the look of the bike...My girl hardly ever rides with me (very scared) and I convinced her that she would feel much better with a sissy bar... so to make her feel better I got one.

I didn't spend alot of money on a high dollar one in case it didn't help her. Well, got her on the back yesterday and rode about an hour to meet my sister and her husband who have a street glide.

Well, I think now she is hooked. We had a great time and let me just say, for me, it is so much better having her back there than being solo.

I will probably take it off when riding solo and I will probably paint it too. Next up maybe some type of audio system to listen to some tunes without using ear buds and probably a better seat for her.

Just wanted to share my great experience...

Nice scoot, I like the black accents, the speedo mount and the flipped mirrors. Good that the GF likes to ride 2 up now, I'm sure the sissy bar adds security to the ride for her - helmets would be a good idea (just sayin'), don't trust the cagers any further than you can throw 'em.
Welcome to the forums and ride safe.

I can't stand riding 2 up without a sissy bar/backrest - I'm always concerned about the passenger disappearing off the back. Regardless of whether they like the sissybar, I do!

Riding with a sissy bar 2 up is much better IMO if for northing else than you're not bumping helmets the whole time
