Sissy Bar

Looking to add a passenger back rest/sissy bar to my EG, opinions on the preference between the standard height or the short version. Beside just 3 inch height difference. 9 1/2 on the short and 12 1/2 on the standard. Thanks all, in advance.

There is also a new for 2014, titling passenger backrest. I saw it in a accessory catalog update at the dealer.

Depends on the height of your passenger and if you have or plan on adding a different seat (some seats have more padding, making them taller). I went with the standard height because my OL is about 5'11". My buddy went with the short one on his SG, but his OL is about 5'nothing.

I think the tall one would be more comfortable for anyone, & since it's only going to be on when you have a passenger I think it's a no brainer, get the tall one.
