The darn descriptions do make it confusing. He we go from from lowest to tallest:

- mini
- short
- med-low
- low
- tall

So the low is 15" from the fender to top of upright (not including the pad). Does anyone know the same measurement for the other sizes?

Originally had a medium-low but replaced it - didn't take the touring backrest the Mrs wanted.

She tells me the low is more comfortable than the medium-low was


Here's a pic.



Obviously the look will be different depending in the backrest pad.

Here's a pic of the medium-low with standard pad. (Notice how it makes the handlebars look shorter LOL!!!)
