Default from 99 king to 08 SG

I bought a 99 RKC back in late 98 and thought it was a great bike. That is until I got on this 08 SG. The ride can't be compared, at least to me.. I love the SG and would never look back. Plus I love the simplicity and lines of the SG. I do wish I would have waited one more season for the 09 but I'm not gonna live in the would a, should a world. I still love the 08 and will have it for many years to come.

I'll bet it sounds great with the Reinharts.

I am a soon to be SG owner and I'm worried about the ride since I'm 6'3. I'm hoping that it won't be as cramped as I was on the RKC.

Will probably be about the same, but floorboard extenders and choosing a seat to match your height should help. The bars are farther forward for longer arms though.
