It's probably the average height.
I know that's not much of an answer but if you're trying to decide if the bike will fit you just post the specifics. What are you trying to accomplish? There's enough riders here of all shapes and sizes that you'll get the answers you need.

I think most HDs are designed around the average American male height & inseam, which is about 5'10"-5'11" and 30-32" inseam.

I'm 6'1" barefoot with a 34" inseam & the mid controls were very cramped, which is why I have forwards.

I'm 5'8 and can stop flat footed on my 12 FXDC. I did go with the Hwy pegs and just flipped the mids up, I heel brake and shift but on long rides i like to flip the mids down so i can change leg positions.

You must be this high to go on this ride.

I should of mention that I am 6 foot 32 inseam and feel a little cramped with the mid control. Stopping flat footed is not a problem I just feel like I should be a couple of inches back for the mid controls I am not willing to go with forward controls as I like the feel mid-controls give me in tight fast corners. So I guess I will take a look at a few seat option to move be back a couple inches.

Also thanks for the link according to the it's information my 6' 32" inseam is the perfect size for my FXDC mid control set up
Maybe its just in my head
