Nice bike,but man that backrest is HUGE. You should take some pictures with it off, would really clean up the looks of your bike.
Thats actually funny you said that. I received so much crap from my friends, I took it off and then replaced it with a smaller pad. It looks much better now.
I initially put a 1" drop on my front and 2" on the back of my 2013 street glide. After I rode it for a few hours I changed my rear back to a 1" drop because of how bad the ride was. I wish I could get away with a 2" rear drop, but it just didn't give me the ride I wanted. As you guys said, I'm sure different things work for different people. Just wanted to add my 2 cents worth.
