Here's a couple of pics.

Don't remember how tall the square stock one is...was a one-off we did for a customer.

The round stock bar is attached to the HD mount plates and is 32" tall. The dagger edges have been dulled and it is attached to the bar with 3 screws.

The one in my sig pic is 31". Mine was done a little differently. I bought the side plates and a stock 18" sissy bar from cyclevisions. I did not like how upright the sissy bar sat with the stock side plates, so I took it to a local customizer, he cut it up, put it at the angle I wanted, and extended it to 31".
