Sissy Bar with Sixty8 Seat?

Has anyone tried this combo...sixty8 seat (brown) with a sissy bar? GF feels safer with a sissy bar, but I already have the brown sixty8 seat and too cheap to buy a new seat and sissy bar combo. Would the triumph sissy bar look strange with that brown sixty8 seat?

Or how about that renntec luggage rack...where the bar comes up a little higher. does that help passengers feel safer at all? The rack would probably be the cheapest option. Anyone have experience with this?

Don't know what it would look like but I have a G/F with the same feelings. I have the low sissy bar and take it off when she's not with me. Only takes 2 mins.

Put on the sissy bar when she rides with you, and be glad that she's willing. Don't worry about how it looks.

Unless you don't want her to ride with you. Then tell her that the sissy bar just doesn't work with the seat.
