Long story short I sold my Fat Boy a month ago.

Next weekend I'm going to look at a 92 FLHS. It has 45k miles and original owner. If we can come to an agreed price I'll get it.

Not sure if I like the riding position of a touring bike versus the Softail. Being 6'2" I enjoyed the leg room. But back posture for long rides wasn't great.

Anyone else tall/long legged switch from softail to touring? Or vise versa?
If so what ride changes did you notice?

Thanks

Brett, bike looks close to stock, although the saddle looks like a Corbin (love the one we have!). I don't have the problem of being anywhere near 6 feet tall, so must leave that to others!

 

I am 6 foot tall and have pegs on the crash bars of my 1990 for a little more room, just rode 1100+ miles friday with no problem

 

Mustang seat Graham. Thanks beezer. 1100 in a day wow!

 

I'm 6'1" and have always had a bagger. Put some highway pegs and a dreiver backrest on her and 500+ a day is no problem, they dont call them "road couch's" for no reason.

 

Thanks. Absolutely on the hwy pegs. A little apprehensive about the mileage. But original owner settles it down a bit. If it's lifter time, I'll do a cam as well.

6ft on the nose and find my 95 road king without doubt the comfiest Harley i have had so far (and i have had a few) much better than my old softail. I have a crashbar with highway pegs that i put on for the longer journeys

 

I passed on the bike. Decided it wasn't exactly what I wanted. So I'm going to hold out for a 97-98 Road King when the time is right...

 

Just curious Brett. What was the guy asking for the bike??

 

I went from a heritage to a streetglide and now back to a heritage . I am way more comfy on the heritage ,so is my wife . I'm 6' btw.
