What's the story on what looks like a second pair of passenger pegs?

He fabricated them for his 7yo daughter. According to Michael's wife, the lower one's work better for her, too.

Hmm , interesting, must be just for looks, cuz theres no pad to lean against, It looks like the quality is all right, but to me the old school styling doesn't match the style of the bike. IMHO it just doesn't flow, it looks like its just stuck on there.

It looks just like what they did in the late 60's early70's, add z bars and a tall sissy bar[ usually to 750 Hondas] Usually went with extended forks and no frame mods, so the motor didn't set level. Thats definitely a "chopper style" sissy bar, kinda like mixing 2 types of architecture,its nice but it don't match

I like it. I've seen some other sissy bars that I would mind having that are pretty similar.

Well.... she's a head-turner. Michael WAS goin' for the 70's look. She strikes a much better pose when you loose the windshield & bags.

I'm sure it looks a lot better without bags and windshield, especially if he takes the P pad off, I like the bar itself, just not with the "dresser" look
