Yip...what he said, or any other bike with mid controls as opposed to forwards.
Sit on as many different ones as you can & get someone to hold the bike up so you can put both feet on the pegs.
Remember also that many two up seats lift you an inch or so higher & a bit closer to the bars.
So...... just 'cos the bike fits you now doesn't mean it will when you've put a comfy pillion seat on it.
It happened to me...

Happy shopping !

Just keep a close eye out everywhere, I managed to pick up my 98 FXD for 3500 in decent shape with the exception of some quick neglected repairs. All together between repairs and suiting the bike to my needs/wants I'm in it around $4700.

Would have jumped all over that when I was searching, but my 05 has suited me well after doing the Tensioner Upgrade and adding Cams while in there ..
