Words of wisdom!

Have a seat and try it out!

I am all of 5'5", at least you will be able to reach foot pegs on the highway bars!

I can't!

If you feel a bit cramped, get a different seat that moves you back a bit.

6'7" on a Deuce...... I sat on a few Fatboys, I would get forward controls extended if you get one, but you'll be fine

I'm 6' 1", and my Heritage was a bit cramped running the stock seat.
Put on a Lepera bare bones, and it sets me back farther.

I'm 6'-1" on a 13' LO and I feel the need for extended foward controls or at the very least moving the boards foward and the seat back.
