Comfort wise was a big gain for me lady, me a little comfort gain with a bit more of a tight cradle. The nose of the seat is about an inch or so shorter than the factory seat even with my best manipulations. So you do see the bottom edge of the tank and partially exposed tank strip bolt. But it does sit securely. Hope this help. Ride safe
Looks great mate, top job.

I use my old power vision to monitor her vitals
Garmin drive 60 gps







Soft lowers are so good at eliminating buffetting, i might replace them with hard permanent ones.

So far I am super happy with the bike
What parts did you have to buy to relocate your front turn signals? Almost looks like in the pictures they are connected to the bracket that holds the memphis shades fairing. I just bought the same one (ordered last night) and can't seem to find many posts about people relocating them on a sport glide. I was also wondering if you had to get new wires or are the stock ones long enough to move where you have them? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

They all end up on touring bikes eventually

Exactly what I want to do the sport glide. What parts did you use for turn signal relocation?

Am looking at a 2019 SG. I'm short , but can flatfoot it no problem. The bars have to come back at least 3 inches and I am used to floorboards on my Heritage and former Ultra. "Chilled" , I see has what looks like Heritage floorboards on his bike. With the single point mount, can I simply swap the pegs for the boards ? I see aftermarket boards that are smaller but also appear to further reduce lean angle and I like the factory looking boards. Is this an easy swap ? Also will the 4 inch pullback risers reduce my reach by a couple inches ,or maybe 6 inch pullbacks be better ?

Chilled, I really like your setup. This is what I want to setup if my deal goes thru. Are your floorboards factory Heritage and is it just a simple swap because of the single point mount ? Seat looks great also.

I put Softail Deluxe floorboards on my Heritage, they support the riders feet better due to their shape. They are wider at the front and you do not loose any cornering clearance. You may want to consider them.

Hey rbouillion,
Where did you get the fork clamps for your turn signals? I ordered a new fairing and I need to move the turn signals, someone esle mentioned CD had something that would fit but I called them and the girl I spoke with said the biggest they had was 1 3/4"
Your fairing and bike look great by the way!
