    Great information and advice, thanks to all for the feedback.

    I feel like I did things correctly up to this point. I took the MSF course and passed it, wear ATGATT, and spent countless hours learning on the 250 Ninja.

    I can’t wait to go for another scoot!

    Congrats on the bike! You will love it. I have no doubt you will learn it’s limits the right way. I remember back in the day when I went from a sv650 to a Cbr600rr. I didn’t have the restraint you have though, I went full throttle the first day and couldn’t wipe the smile off of my face. I want another one but I know I have no restraint with the throttle.

    Just wrapped up a 220 mile round trip trek to Alexandria and back.

    BTW, what’s with all the damn left lane bogarts in WV, MD and VA?

    Took every bit of restraint not to lane split them.

    So these sissy bars....name kills me, but I’m digging them. The Punisher is my deal. :anonymous:

    Looking at something like this....what say the peanut gallery??

    Also, hard mount? Don’t really see myself taking it on and off. :notsure:

    18in? 24in??

    @uhplifted how tall is yours?

    My ex rode a Harley for almost 20 years and that detachable stuff is sweet. Makes detailing your bike a lot easier.

    I am trying to find a tall one I like, but it’s got to be removable. If my wife is not on the sissy bar is not on.plus I think she will like tha tall one. More lean back support.

    I’d have to go measure for you. Or maybe @GHOST SHIP remembers as he made it. It’s not super tall and the saddle man takes away a good few inches from it. It’s enough to strap a bag to it. If I ever get passenger pegs I’ll strap a back pad for the girl when she gets on

    I think we settled on 14”. The seat does take away 2-3 inches so keep that in mind @grdgz97
