Default Back Problem
I used to have a 1998 Dyna Wide Glide with forward controls and a 10"mini ape hangers. Now I have a 2005 Dyna Superglide Sport with mid-controls and a stock handlebas with a 4"Riser but I'm having a back problem now, just 15 miles of riding and my back will start hurting. Any advise?
