Maybe if it was laid back more, closer to matching the fork angle. JMO

Jim, you can go to most welding shops and have them cut and weld a sissy bar for you. Its just 5/8 inch square stock. I had my stock sissy bar cut down til its just a grab bar for only $25. But they will make it any heighth and shape you want.. I agree, its too tall for the bike. nice lookin bike tho!

I like that sissy bar a lot. I also like a simple grab bar. I don't like the Savage's stock version of a sissy bar.

Actually, it's at a pretty good angle for strapping my T-Bags to.

Absolutely fantastic.

I am not very artistic so I waited till you had a few opinions before I tossed mine out. It seems I will be going against the crowd. It looks good, but for some reason, I just had to keep looking at it & finally it hit me. I have always associated back rest LOOkin stuff with passengers. Ther's no seat for a passenger. Okay, so to me it is kinda visually confusing. Took me a while to figure out why. So, does it LOOK god, yes, it doess. If I saw it goin doiwn the road the overall effect of that bike would be just dandy. I would like it plenty without the bar, too. Now, about that angle. If it was laid back any more it wouldn't look good to me, but what about the top 6 inches or so? Would that do anything GOOd for ya? Well,, Whatever you do, you have a really good lookin Zuki there. Have fun & be careful.. two seemingly mutually exclusive terms if ever there were any.

I think it looks great. justin_o_guy does make a good point about the lack of a passenger seat. Without anything it looks like a bobber/chopper hybrid. Put one of those tiny little passenger pads on and it will look just right. The angle looks just fine to me

I like it a lot. Definitely a nice chopper. I kinda like Justin_o_guys idea of maybe bending the top 6" back with the angle of the forks. That'd look pretty good. I wouldn't bend the whole thing back, it'd stick out way too much. Overall, I like it a lot. Great looking bike.

I sure like it. Bending to top few inches might improve it too. Live savage_rob said, on the practical side, it would be a nice support for bags or other luggage.
