Made the decision to down size from my '15 Street Glide to a Street Bob.

Found this '21 at a local dealer. Already has the Vance & Hines Big Radius, Performance Machine breather and forward controls....stuff I would have done if I bought stock. Not much seat time yet, but I like it so far. Have back rest on order and maybe taller bars in the future.

I will surely miss the SGS, especially the bags and the stereo, but it was quite a bit more than my horrible knees could stand anymore.

 

Getting a good seat makes the fxbbs soooo much better. I recommend that first.

 

I miss my 2018 Street Bob sometimes. It's a fun bike.

 

That is a good possibility, too. I like Saddlemen seats and will be looking at them.

Also thinking about lowering the rear, as well.

 

i sat on a fxbbs with a saddlemen forthe first time yesterday. Im glad i didn't go that route. Like sitting on a park bench, and it raises you up on the bike.

i went with a whiplash speed co seat which is made for them by some other well known seat company.

sits me down and back. Feel like in in the bike not ontop of it like a dirt bike.

 

Saddleman Renegade was great on my old FXBB.... worth looking at if you don't want a numb *** after 50 miles....

On the seat, down and back is preferable.

I'll be doing some homework.

 

whiplash seems to a popular go to as well...

 

Or C&C, same seat with more options to customize. And I recommend the Kodlin block to lower it, which I have on my '20 Fatty.
