I have an 07 Strret glide. I hade the non adjustable one and got rid of it after 2 weeks, I hated it and decided to try this one, I'm going on my 3rd Back surgery so it was more a need thing than a comfort thing to start, Hope ya get your's soon.

I have an 05 Classic and I had to play with the installation mounts a couple of times till I got it dialed in. Did not need to do any bending, just adjustment from the screw in the back.
