Default sissy bar height

I have the 06 Electra with the original seat. Which sissy bar do I need, the med or the high one? Thanks

Default RE: sissy bar height

If your using the Stock Seat (Pass pad is thick) - You would want the Taller One

I have a 06 RKC w/a re-padded stock seat by Mean City Cycle (love it now) and have the tall sissy bar.I'm not crazy about the way it looks.I'm gonna get the medium size one and probably sell the tall one (It's brand new.Never used)

I had a standard height (medium) sissy bar and my wife said it was too low for her.
We picked up a tall and she likes it much better.
The standard height (medium) just about touches the seat when mounted on my standard with the stock seat.
The tall looks to be about 3" from the seat to the bottom of the sissy bar pad.
The standard (medium) looked better , but the tall enables me to mount better (taller) luggage if I need to more easily.
