advice

I have a new 2008 Street Glide, and I could use some advice. First is the HD seat up to long 1000+ rides? I put a Mustang seats on my last bike, the HD seat just was not comfortable on long rides. And second has anyone found a good place to put a iPod while plugged into the radio?

I am looking forward to get it out on the road. On the short rides I have made so far I notice the short windshield does not block as much wind as I would like any suggestions?

I appreciate any help

thanks

I put the 8 1/2" windscreen on mine and it made a huge difference.

I found an 8" shield on ebay for $40 shipped to my door.

I'm also needing to get some sort of windsheild bag for my SG but don't want the triple bag. Mainly need it for my garage door opener, etc.

I found the stock seat fine for riding, but there are better choices. Sitt on your bike with someone blowing a leave blower at you from the front. Get a piece of cardboard cut out the same shape as a windshieldand keep raising it till ur happy. Go buy that size windshield. No guess work!!
