Question Tall vs Short Sissy Bar

[oldsprint03]

Don't know the heights but I can tell you that the tall one is barely tall enough to strap soft luggage too. If I had gone with the shorter version, it would be too low to be useful.

Hellfire is dead on . I bought the short one, it was too short.

Molinoman Is That a Tall?

Molinoman that is a tall pictured on your bike correct?

One more Question

Lets say I bought a Tall, the way the back rest is designed is it possible to cut the length and re-drill the bolt holes for a shorter custom length?

I have the tall one(only put it on for long trips) and it is plenty tall enough for my soft bag on the rear and a small suitcase strapped to it from the front.

Here is a picture if that will help.

I was refering to a more "back-pack" style of luggage, the kind that has a flap that goes over the cushion. More like this ....

 

[Molinoman]

Minderaser, yes that is the tall one.

Hellfire, you mean like this....?

No way in hell a short version would support that monster.

I don't think so.
As far as the stock backrests,
I've only got the short one to look at.
But it's wider at the bolt holes,
then comes in more to make its upward transition,
to the pad area.
You could always do what I did,
make your own, or have one made.
example???

Skip...but does she enjoy riding back there without a pad?

Hellfire, on my trip to Key West I started off with just the pack portion (manufacturer: T-Bag of all things), after I started to collect T-shirts I needed more room and was able to pick up the round roll bag in Ft. Myers (matching the pack/suitcase with wheels by the way and an extendable handle....not just your ordinary motorcycle pack/bag). On my trip back up (the 855 miles in one day jaunt) I didn't notice any adverse effects of the high sitting arrangement...the Rocket just kept cruising on and on.
