Default Passenger sissy bar options?

Greetings!


Last fall I purchased a 2016 FLHXS, got the 4 point docking hardware and the standard height sissy bar. I had a shorter height sissy bar on my 2011 and my wife complained that it hurt after awhile so we went with the standard height (taller) one.
My question, is there any other sissy bar out on the market that isn't H-D that could be more user friendly/adjustable? She claims this one is more comfortable but now pushes her further into my back. It kinda seems like she'd prefer one that would pivot a notch or two back but still give the support.


Is there anything out there like this? Thanks in advance!

this got posted to the wrong post. I never had even clicked on this post and can’t post to the one I want. It is screwing up this morning
How about an ice chest. Then you can pack some sandwiches.

Or a tourpak to hold the cooler full of sammitches. My wife likes the tourpak over a sissy bar. Detatchable is the best of both worlds.

Harley makes an adjustable one. The pad thickness makes a difference as well. My mustang pad is about an inch and a half shallower.
