Default lower back pain
I've been riding about 3 hours so far today and my lower backs starting to hurt. Anybody have the same problem on their dyna? Hell I still got the rest of the day left. The price we pay to have a kool little solo seat.

my drag bars were causing my back to be crooked when i ride so i put on a set of baby apes and it made my back straight. didn't make all the pain go away but it's a lot better.

Get a kidney belt. I rode with one for years. In the wind.

Agree with the Corbin. Been using Corbins for years now and have found nothing more comfortable.
