(click on for details) I'm not sure I understand the chart. I'd think that if accident rate is less than exposure rate then that means that the mod actually makes the bike safer (to first level, not taking into account other factors that this doesn't account for.) Or am I missing something?

In any case, even if a sissy bar increased accident rate (which I suppose I could see happening if some significant percentage of folks had a tall stack of luggage tied to it), I can't see how that the sissy bar itself would increase the likelihood of injury in the event of an accident.

It's just one of those statistical glitches a good salesman/politician/lawyer can use to plant a seed of doubt and sell you something you don't want or need. In reality though, one would need A LOT more data to find any causality between any of these mods and accidents, and how many of these resulted in injuries, and whether the injuries were caused by modifications.

I am not a fan of statistics
