Talking First day on the Street Glide

At the old age of 24 my back has had enough of touring on the Dyna, and I bought my first bagger. I have to say that I am impressed with the Street Glide. The radio is great, and I dont have to deal with the headphones anymore. The bike handles better than the Low Rider, and after a few more miles on it I may have to hit the dragon again. That said, here comes the questions... Any advice on rider backrests and passenger backrests/ luggage racks (not tour packs). Any lessons learned, things to avoid, mods that help, etc.? Also, any decent tankbags that hold a navigation system out there? All the advice you can give is appreciated! Thanks

Congrats on the new bike.Today I droped my 08 SG off at the dealer for service with my son picking me up for a lift home. 3 hours later and he left with a new SG.

get the 4 point docking system...if you ride 2 up, the passenger most likely will not like the seat. I like the stock seat. Get a removable backrest and a a luggage rack for longer trips.

Best mod I have done is my bars. Love the way they changed my riding position. Did my second 600 mile trip yesterday and had no problems riding for 10 hours. Then today went tooling around town. Best universal bike IMO. You will love it
