Sissy Bar - leave it on or take it off when solo?

[Milco]

I run the 18" all the time

 

[RoadRider]

I take mine off. Like others I prefer the clean look plus it looks a bit odd without the bitch pad .

I have the 18 inch on my k9. Leave it on all the time. I like the old school feel it gives to the bike

I agree. I leave mine on all the time with no b*tch seat on. No rear pad on the bar also.

Got a P pad stick on, when shes not on the bike it is off. No sissy bar as i did not like the attachment. When i had my other bike and HD, sissy bar only on when the passenger is on.

I"ve had my 18in. on my k9, like to carry a pack so i"m covered with extra gear. common saying up north here{ if you don"t like the weather, wait five minutes and it will change}. I do like the look both ways thou.

I needed one for a road trip, so I made one and liked it, so it's still on there.
I'm thinking about having it chromed.

When I purchased my k9 2 years ago, it already had a 12" sissy bar on it. I always left it on & also added a luggage rack. Noticed a bolt was gone & had it in for some service, sissy bar is off the bike & at the shop. 1 bolt sheard off inside the bar. Service Center told me Big Dog had said should not be on unless carying passenger, backpack or something on the back. Don't know if that is true or not, I have a 18" sissy bar that I would like to put & keep on all the time but don't want to lose it, damage the struts or fender if it fails. Any opinions ???

18" with luggage rack for long trips or 2-Up with backpack and 12" for around town.

Have only taken mine off a couple of times, just change the seat when wife rides.

Every time you post that pic I shake my head in disbelief. I would have a renewed love for life after that experience.
