Welcome to the HDFORUM.

I hope you continue to enjoy your ride here to.

Only as a suggestion, by me as a USER, create a signature line similar to my one line on my bike information.

The year, model, and all the letters Harley assigned to the bike. It will appear at the bottom of your post.

Doing this will be helpful if you ask a question. All Harleys aren't the same with many changes and variations over the year.

Of course, you can always add it to any post with a question.

You can also add any other details you choose and a favorite picture to the signature line.

If you like, you can also add a favorite picture for an Avatar you see at the top left of all your post as a postal stamp.

PS….. Questions in the Welcome Area is not the best area for visibility.

Questions would probably get more comments in the proper area using the dropdown menu title FORUMS at the top left on your screen.

Welcome from Raleigh.
Try a lowered seat, your local H-D dealership should have a "demo" seat for you to try

Welcome from Green Country Oklahoma. Reducing the suspension travel will make it uncomfortable ride since these bikes don't have much suspension travel to begin with.
