I had an '07. Sent the badlander seat into mean city cycles and had them move me 1" back and 1" down with memory foam. I also got a set of Wild One 501s. It was perfect! I'm 5'10".

Great suggestions, thanks for all the feedback so quickly. I'll post when I've actually done it and give my impressions. Pullback risers and a better seat sound like a good place to start.

I noticed nobody mentioned the suspension, all that road vibration does not help. We went with the Shotgun Shock air suspension. We cannot believe the ride now, like riding on a magic carpet.
JD still has the special price $1250.00 for the system.
Yeah we don't have a LOW we went with the geezer glide
