If I go Corbin that was my plan to ride in. I'm only 6-7 hrs away and got friends there. .

 

It is a great experience, I've been there a couple of times. Although Russell works differently, I found them to have the absolute best seat I've ever used. I just don't want to spend that kind of money on this particular bike. I'm leaning towards a Sundowner. I can get it from Surdyke for about $267

Its an upright seating position, which works fine with mid controls. This is one of three bikes in the garage, but its my first Harley. My other two bikes, one has a slight lean forward position and the other is an upright seating position, which is what I prefer. It definitely allows more hours in the saddle for longer rides without ***-burn.

 

I hear ya. I’ve got an 2012 Super Glide with mid controls and am your height/inseam. Reach to the bars was easily corrected with pulling the bars back more inline with the forks and sitting more forward on the seat. The corrects my straight arm problem but exacerbates the mid control binding of the legs. In a way, it reminds me of my dirt bike days but stretching out more around town would be nice. I might have to convert to forward controls.

 

​​​​​​I'm considering trying the"further forward mids" that came stock on the last Dyna Low Riders.

 

Thanks for that. I just looked at those, they just might do the trick.

 

If you do, please report on how you like them. A few years ago, I did a Harley demo event, and rode one of the last iterations of the Lowrider. Those came stock with those further forward mids, but I found the brake pedal hard to use. I don't know if that brake pedal just needed to be adjusted, or that's just how they are. I didn't spend a whole lot of time on that bike, and I didn't have a Dyna at the time, so I didn't investigate any further. I've been wanting to get over to a dealer to see if they have any of those bikes in stock in their used section, but of course with the Covid19 virus going on that's not been a possibility

 

will do. I’m going to my lighting the way I want first so it will be a while. Harley is going to make me get a job - lol.

i did read the reviews for those controls on a Harley’s website and people said that about the brake pedal. I Don’t remember if anyone said if the pedal can be adjusted on that particular item because I looked through all the controls.

 

I think it can be adjusted, it's just a bit longer than the stock pedal we have now. I have bar risers coming in today, should have them on tonight and be able to ride with them tomorrow. That will tell me what I want the seat to do for me. I have a feeling, that a seat that moves me up a little bit and possibly back a fraction and will be the ticket. I also have a Dart Marlin Flyscreen coming, which should alleviate the wind pressure at high speed. That, IMO, may also help with how I feel about the riding position. Living in Las Vegas, I really don't have any meandering 45 to 55 mph roads. to get anywhere you take a freeway, when you get somewhere it's often way out the desert and speeds are pretty high too. This seems to affect everything about my riding position on that bike.

A windscreen, IMHO, makes a huge difference, a lot less wind buffeting at high speed. I had a cicada hit me in the throat at about 60 mph, that convinced to get a windscreen (on a previously owned bike).
