He Hate - those are still pretty short. They sure look better but not very functional, in my world anyway.

my thoughts exactly. From the reviews I read, it works. I’m a tall guy, but I am getting a custom seat that will sit me lower and back 2 more inches.

Hoping that does the trick. If not I’ll go bigger, just want to make sure I get the shortest functional one. Trial and error may be the only way to find out.

Have you looked at LRS? They are having sales all the time and it might be less painful to get a $75 trial instead of a $150 test.
also, what seat are you going With? I am trying to decide on one too. I am 6'4" and trying to get this beauty to fit me. I have the HD tallboy on my streetglide and it is pretty good. It's just so plain.....

I am going to use C and C Fastback again. I had it on my Streetglide and it was perfect. They can sit you back even further if you need too. It looked awesome. Cvo stitching with the matching piping.

would.love to see pics when you get the seat. I have used c & c before for a few seats. They are local to me. I had the fastback on a previous streetglide as well.

I will. I asked them to do it but they insist on me picking the exact color etc. so I hope to get the samples in the mail very soon.

Be careful of their stitching. I got a really cool blue color based on my 2009 blue streetglide but within one year it was beige! The color in the thread didn't last long.

Nice choice, I have same bike. I went with the kw 14” sport flare. I’m about 5-11. Perfect height for me.

TAB performance slip ons are just the perfect amount of loud. A very aggressive sound. And Gustafson windshields 10 inch is a great fit for the sport glide.
