So, Tommy, you're a tippy-toer, too? I'm really short, but I just had to have the Electra Glide, it's super comfortable and I ride at highway speeds round trip every day. Got any tips for a fellow short legger? I mostly find that if I keep my eye on the slope of the parking spots, I don't have any problems at all. Except maybe in gravel, I'd like to be a little more steady, but it's been all good so far.

Congrats, the King is a beauty!

Congrats on your new bike. I just did a deal today for the exact same bike (same color). Traded in my 2011 Heritage Softail. I took a test drive on this bike a month ago but actually wasn't impressed with the seat (feels like it crams me too far forward). I decided to take a second look and try it with a couple of different seats and that did the trick. I think I will also order the foot control kit to move the controls out a little farther as I have long legs and hate to ride with with my legs sitting up high on the tank. The seat that seemed to work fairly well was from the CVO Streetglide but I would be interested to hear what others think might be a better choice as I havn't ordered the seat yet. I would prefer a solo seat for the look and because I never carry a passenger.
