Default I went throught the same thing

I'm a short guy (5'5" way too much time w/ a ruck) so I needed a short seat height. I was looking at the Streatbob, but WTF I can reach floorboards just fine. Plus by the time I was done tricking it out I would have ended up spending more. Good idea to rent a couple of them to figure things out.

I am torn between the Nighster as a fun to have bike, then the Street BOB as a cheaper kind of what I really want and then there are two models that I really like and those are the Softail Deluxe and of course the Fat Boy.

i really don't know what I am gonna do, but on R&R I will most likely rent all of them in that particular order and if everything goes well I will be able to decide right then.

I was mostly concerned about my height but all of those bikes seat at 25.4 incehs off the ground so I will be good there.


Hey all of you guys thanks for the warm welcome and great wishes. I really appreciate that.

Thanks
