I just put them on my FXDB, they look great but they are pretty stiff. They ride great on the the freeway but surface streets or rough roads are pretty uncomfortable, IMO of course.

Give it a little time. They either soften a bit or you get used to them. Not sure which.

Looks cool, but with those exhaust pipes, it looks like it wouldn't take much of a right hand turn to throw a shower of sparks behind you.

I got 11 progressives on my 04 wg, just wondering if you had any problems with the clearance between the rear fender and the tire. Nice looking ride i might add!

I had them on my 01' I have ground the pass. peg mount of on L side, ground down bottom pipe. Hit a monster pot hole in Myrtle Beach 1 night and tire ripped my wiring in half and broke all the clips. The bike has 28k on it and that was the only episode of destruction was the nasty pot hole, the rest was from hard riding. Also it was ridden 2 up 85% of the time and was 2 up when I hit hole.
