Default riding position

I was wondering after riding a Wide Glide for 13 years and being 6 feet in height will a have to move the Springers foward controls up any or is it almost in sequence to the fxdwg's forward controls. Thanks

Frames are similar, seats differ somewhat.

Default RE: riding position

Agreed.. The seat will make a world of difference in adjustment.. I noticed I feel a little "close" on a stock softail standard though, but just right on my fatboy (floorboards).. but I just swapped seats and the ride is totally different now... The seat is everything, but I'll bet the fxsts is not too much different from the wide glide.
