I have a 07 america...I was wondering (if im in the correct forum?) if anyone has made a custom sissy bar (one that rises to a point around 2 ft. or so above rear pillion) that would indeed support a passenger. I would be interested if purchasing or working with an  yone that constructs these bars....please pm me of amyone is interested. thanks.

I'd ask Warlock. Mike, I believe is his name. He makes some nice looking stuff. Maverick Customs
Check out his products section.

I've had great luck with using a kuryakin "plug-n-play" sissy bar bracket. they make them for HD'S but all it takes is drilling 3 holes in your rear fender underneith your seat an than having someone wheld up a sissy bar in any shape you want. i went with twisted square stock and it rises about 17 inches above the rear seat.
If your interested in this mod let me know and i can give more detailed instructions.
Kuryakin says only to use 10 inch and under bars, but both me and my buddy, who has a 3ft tall sissy bar with the same bracket have loaded it down with gear and passengers wit no problem.

Wow, remind me not to post pictures on here anymore. Maybe i should drop a bunch of cash on chrome pieces and chop off the rear fender and call it "custom" like most of the guys here. other than the fact that it is not chrome, its pretty much exactly like mavericks, except that it uses the bracket and is not attached to the struts.

1. the message was for the bracket itself, not the sissy bar. the kuryakin looks way better hidden underneith the seat unlike the triumph bolt on model
2. Please feel free to post something you've made for your bike so i can give my opinion on it.

to each his own. there are things that i find very appealing that others dont and vise versa. so dont let what one person sez influence you or upset you its just an opinion and some people like roses and some dont, its just that simple. of course i was always taught that if you have nothing nice to say about something, say nothing and in todays world i am sure there are those that were never taught anything. so dont let them get to you. in my life i have known people that were so envious of what someone else had that they couldnt help themselves they had to say negitive things about them or their things. " i would never live in that big house whats the point, who are they trying to show off to" things like that so like i say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!!

Omigod, really? Not everybody has to like everything. Yeah, they could keep their mouths shut or they could be a little more gentle with negative criticism, but thicken up the skin a bit. All that matters is if you like what you did. Screw the rest. Reminds me when not too long ago someone said they didn't like Nick Serrano's bike and he freaked out. And whatever you do, don't go out into the wilds of the internets; people are WAY less polite there than they are here. They aren't even that nice on most of the other Triumph forums.
