Default 1200C, 1200R, 883L, Height Differences...

I was looking through the 2005 Owners Manual, and happened to look at the Seat Height and Overall Height of the various Sportster models.

Kind of surprised in the small difference between the 1200C and the 883L, as I thought the 'Low Model" would be, well, much lower than the others.

Seat Height of the 1200C is 26.3", while that of the 883L is 26.0".

Overall Height of the 1200C is 45.7", while the 883L is 44.9".

The 1200R is a different story. It has a Seat Height of 28.1", and an Overall Height of 49.2".

Interesting, but then again I'm easily amused.
