My pic here shows some of the mods......

 

i live 30 mi nw of cinti,oh. last summer rode w/ wife 2011 sg east coast md then back thru baltimore. def need a "rider's" backrest for yourself and in my case add floorboard extension (im too short to install hiway pegs on engine guard but they would come in handy)

 

p.s also got lrs winshield for long rides (the shorty looks cool but is pretty useless especially in hard rain)

 

oh GOD please dont let my wife find out you can install tourpak w/large padding on sg (i have her convinced you must purchase classic/ultra for those goodies!)

 

I just ordered a Scarlett red tour pack and quick disconnect bracket for the docking kit. Best of both worlds, Winnebago for when the wife is traveling with the ability to leave the baggage to the hotel on arrival.

Love my street glide, would never want an ultra but I do like the ability to set the bike up for comfort.

So far my mods:
Anarchy five spoke wheels
Stage II 103
Klockwerks ergo back bars with HD Nostalgia grips
Modified HD Tallboy seat
Four point docking kit
J&M 7.25 speakers
J&M Amp
Klockwerks 8.5 flare windshield

 

I've done forward controls, KW 6.5 shield, prime apes, and have two different seats. The Badlander in town, and a Sundowner for long trips. Now if I could only find a seat that looks cool, but still has the comfort of the Sundowner.

 

I set my new bike up originally for one up riding however Mrs DS has expressed a desire for Autumn trips into France to ride pillion rather than go on her Sportster

Anyway I have the solo series signature HD single seat with back rest along with 8.5 KW screen and adjustable lower vents. I have HarleyGoodies extensions to get my legs away from the engine and use Airlite guards on the bars in the wet along with heated grips. I also have an Airhawk seat pad for long range comfort.

Normally I run with a rack where the rear seat would go but also have the single seat tourpak set up.

For the wife I have the rear seat section for the above HD seat and use it with a rear tourpak mount

I came down from a Ultra Ltd due to wifey getting her own bike and cost aside feel I have better set ups available now for any given situation. Of course all of this could have been done a lot cheaper by detaching the tourpak from the Ltd but hey you only live once

 

3700 miles to Sturgis and back, pumped up air shocks, bought Screamin Eagle Flhx seat, highway pegs, taller windshield and away we went. No issues at all, but would recommend a better seat than stock for sure. And good tunes!!!
