Also I would suggest using RSD adjustable clutch and brake levers to make it little easier to grab hold of the clutch lever, since you might have difficulty with the stock hydraulic clutch.

It's all about your inseam. If your height is 6'3" but your inseam is 28" you're probably going to need a low. Assuming you're at a 32" you might not enjoy having your legs in the position a "low" would put you in for any distance. I think the difference on a '16 would be grips seat and shocks. If you bought a regular and bought the lower sgs/rgs suspension everyone is getting rid of, and the seat it would feel the same.

I did sit on a used EG, it was comfortable. Just the new one(low) has all the bells and whistles and some things are standard on the low where as cost extra on other bikes. I was told to get a standard seat for it, that it would be a little higher, and set back a little further. But that comes from a salesman, that's why I came on here, to ask the riders.
