4'10" rider
Just got my first motorcycle...2008 Sportster 883L. I've encountered numerous challenges with getting me fitted to my bike. I'm 4'10" and have had the bike lowered front and back, installed the solo-reach seat and now that my feet touch the ground safely - I'm having to change out the stock handle bars to mini-apes so that I can maintain a safer more controlled reach. Curious if they are any other height-challenged riders out there - who can share some of their experiences with me...so that I may have some insight as to what else I can expect...as I enter the world of HD riding.
