    hey guys,

    im toying with the idea of changing from my deluxe to a steetglide. Im chasing more comfort for when i ride[ as i have a busted up back].

    was just after any info from guys that have made the change from a softail to a glide.

    thanks in advance

    Love my Street Glide . With a busted back though , maybe throw 13" aftermarket shocks on one .

    Harley Hammock seat would be worth looking at .12" shocks standard on Street Glide , 13" on Ultra . Longer shocks would have to be a bit more comfortable on our great roads !!

    well, i can admit that the newer shocks work well[ as least on the demo bike anyway. and i went looking for the mx track around gasolene alley & didn,t take long.]

    and what a difference the streetglide is. they ride like they are on rails and the abs is bloody gr8

    pics later

    thanks for all your assistance guys

    I have full exhaust and no vibes on footboards . I worry that the speakers in pannier lids will leak . The shift pedals can be 1" longer with HD parts . Wind deflectors China .
