Default Make it fit

I just picked up a loaner Road King from my dealer to use while my '02 Screamin' Eagle RK is in for service. I immediately was reminded how important it is to make your bike fit you. Nothing on this bike fit me and I felt it every mile home. The bars, of course, weren't right. But, the levers, rear brake pedal, gear shift all would have been adjusted if I was keeping this bike.

Take the time to make it fit. If the bars are uncomfortable, change them. Ditto the seat. You pay a lot for a Harley these days and making it fit sure increases the comfort and enjoyment. Levers, gear shift and brake pedal are easily adjusted. You'll be amazed at how much better your bike is when you are done.

More miles = more smiles!

I would sure like my rear brake pedal a little higher. This is on an 07 EGS, can it be done?

Jim, I believe so. I'm no wrench, but ask your mechanic. I think that pedal is easily rotated up or down.

Too bad humans don't come in standard sizes.&nbsp\\;Would make fitting a motorcycle a whole lot easier.
