I am 5' 7" and have a modify stock see

5-7 and a Diamond custom seat

[glwilson]

5'-6" I ride a stock '04 1500FI -- no add-ons; no custom seat. I have few complaints; nor does my wife who rides two-up with me 95% of the time.

I may however add risers to bring the bars back to me a bit more.

5'7", 30 inseam. I have no problem flatfooting with the stock seat but Phat II risers were mandated by the reach to the handlebar.

Im 6'3 and the stock seat is ok for me

My wife is 5' 5" and she has a Mustang seat on her 08 Nomad. We also installed as set of Progressive 440 shocks off of a Classic which lowered her bike 1 and 1/2 inches. No problems with pipes dragging the floor boards will still touch first.

5', 8", 30 inch inseam. Corbin Touring (factory fitted) w/backrest. PhattII Risers, stock bars & grips. Didn't mind stock seat for solo for around 300 mile days.

5-10, 32 inseam and stock seat w/propad gel still can flat foot it at a light.

At 5 - 9 (on days when I'm feeling really tall) I'm somewhere in the middle, but usually 'feel' short when walking around with the rest of the population, so, I'll contribute.

Mine is the Mustang Regal, and it lowered me just a hair,which worked out great, because when we added the sheepskin, the feel, fit, and comfort were perfect. I think I have (an advantage?) though, in that the previous owner added progressive shocks and lowered the bike just a little.

All of these things taken together give me the feeling like I'm sitting down in the bike and not on top, which really adds to that sense of controlability. With the weight so low and my feet easily plantable, I can drop the bike into a sharp turn and it still likes to pop right back up when we straighten out.

5'4" I have a stock seat soon to be modified. I have custom 2.5" risers on the handle bars. A sane person would have gotten a lower bike, but it was love at first sight. I have a 30 inseam and have no problems @ long traffic lights as I am quite nimble at shifting my ass across the wide seat to accommodate a flat foot stance. No problems here, I've been short all my life so I can adapt to anything. :)

I'm 6'1" with a 34" inseam. I've never even considered touching the ground on a bike. Even a CR 500 dirt bike with tons of suspension, it was never a consideration. I guess all those years of old ladies at the grocery store asking me to get something from a high shelf for them pays off when getting a bike.

5'6" with a 29 inch inseam. 08 Nomad. Seat is stock, but am planning on getting a custom for more comfort. I put Phatt II risers on it a couplle of weeks ago, makes riding much more comfortable.

I can flat foot on most stops, steep up hill can get a little tricky. Did 300 miles on it yesterday, only a little stiff and sore in a couple of spots. Usually ride 2 up.
