I am making a 'sissy bar' for my big black, tough, butch Vmax but I need to call it something else - too gay.
Anyone got any alternatives - the more funny/stupid the better.
I might go into production with this name if you can come up with one good enough

Backrest?? - Luggage anchor?? - but sissy bar was never intended to have and it still doesn't have a gay connotation - the word sissy was used originally for someone who was "chicken" - the word is part of motorcycle culture and it is still widely used without embarassment.

Today's trivia- in the early days of racing, the mechanics installed a small handle above the rear fender of the bike. It's purpose was to give the mechanic something to grab when he helped the rider to push-start the bike. Since the rider needed help starting his bike, the handle became known as a 'sissy bar.'
