[QUOTE="Steel_Gin, post: 1095709, member: 28125"] I am 5'8" and 28" inseam and been riding my FJR for two years. I stand on the balls of my feet with a Russell Day Long seat and I am fine. The RDL increased the height a little when it was new, but now that it's broken in I think the height is very close to OEM. I do have to move forward just a little when stopping because of the wings which is no big deal at all; the wings kind of pushes me forward anyway when I put my feet down. When stopping plan ahead as best you can, don't rush when moving it around and you will be fine. It doesn't matter how tall you are, if your foot slides on some small stones or step in a pot hole (didn't happen on the FJR) it's going down. Welcome and enjoy your new ride!! :) [/QUOTE]
