Default Nightster Riders how tall are you?

How tall are you? Only asking cause I'm 5-6 and wondering if this HD meant for people of similar height.

5'10" but sometimes I feel cramped on it. I have a buddy who's 5'6 or 5'7" about 140-150lbs and he loves the bike. Says its the most comfortable thing he's road, even more comfortable to him than softails.

5' 8''. I've seen taller guys on them but I think it fits us shorter guys a little better.

5'5 09 1200L, I can hold up a Dyna or Softail but I am more comfortable on the
Sportster, especially walking it back, so much lighter for short legs.

6'1"

This should be titled Sportie riders how tall are you? The Nightsters' frame is the same as the rest.
