I'm 5'6"..... and my deuce is very comfortable. The controls are not too far away. I haven't had any problems staying comfortable on longer rides either. I just installed a corbin dual tour seat so my wife can be comfortable too. She used to complain that it was like sitting on a 2" x 4". Since the new seat install, no complaints from the rear seat!

To tell youthe truth... I'm not sure. I bought this bike as the second owner with the wheels already installed. I'm hoping to see a name or some sort of info the next time I have the tires off.

I think the bike will fit you, I just sold a mustang seat that moved me too far forward so that would be an option for you. As far as it being a good long haul bike, I rode from Seattle to Sturgis and back no problem.
