Minor Changes

After trying both the 4'' (stock) and 6 1/2'' Harley wind deflector, I wound up going with an after market 3'' chrome wind deflector. I'm 6'3'' and the 4'' would have my glasses shaking around 55mph, and the 6 1/2'' put the air stream right under the brim of my helmet which caused even worse buffeting at speed.
Didn't want to go any higher - I prefer the chopped look and do not like looking through a windshield, so I went in the opposite direction with an 3'' aftermarket wind defector and it worked out great! No more buffeting, and quite nice even at speed - Figured I share that, know quite a few SG owners have had the same issue.
On another note, I've got a Corbin saddle with a backrest. Great seat and the backrest is really comfortable, especially because I'm tall. However, I can't help but think the bike would look better without it. What do you guys think?
