Ideas on sissy bars/back rests?

[Gizzit]

Hi there,
Having just ordered a new Suzuki Boulevard C50, I am after a sissy bar for it.
My wife likes the look of some of those she has seen that are curved to support the shape of your back, in preference to the mainly small oblong black cushion supports that most have.
Has anyone got that type of sissy bar on their C50, or something a bit similar, or know of one that may fit. I'm looking for ideas.
I also want to have a "billet" on the back of the sissy bar, which is a small carrier plate for putting something on.
See the attached pics for an idea of what I mean.
Cheers.

PS: Any anecdotal evidence about various sissy bars used, including the more standard ones, and their effectivness, greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you can find something similar to what you want, you could buy the sissy bar and have the cushion reshaped to fit. Just another suggestion to throw into the list of already confusing alternatives! :D

put a bitch bar on, the bitch dont fall off right? whats left to worry about?

Use search function - theres a number of threads on aftermarket parts suppliers and you will find reviews of the products on the sites.

Aussie dealer, and not to badly priced considering it comes with the mounting stuff and the luggage carrier billet ...

Any ideas ??

No .. it's all good mate! My pillion doesn't ride with me that often, but when she does ..... it will mean less stress from being grabbed around the ribs unsuspectingly, causing involuntary throttle moments ... etc ... :sweatdrop :woohoo: :gob: LOL
