I am 5' 7" on a good day ... 28" inseam ... I have forwards Kury switchblades on my 06 Bob - and an after market seat I've never taken the time to find out what it is - two up ... I think it is comfortable as all get out ... I wish I had a little more leg sometimes, so I could hang my feet off the end, but that pry isn't very safe anyway

 

I am 5'7" with a 30" inseam and I could reach them fine but after about 30 minutes of riding it felt like I was stretching for the foot rests. So I fabbed a couple of brackets to bring the controls back 1 1/4".

 

I am 5'8" 29" inseam. I added forwards to my 07 Street Bob and reach was just ok. Gat a LePera Daytona Sport seat for Xmas. It sets lower than the stock and the reach is just wright now.

 

I'm 5'7 with a 30 inch inseam and have been fine tuning the fit on my 2010 Wide Glide. I have installed mini boards which I have feeling pretty good but will know for sure after I receive my new Mustang Vintage Solo. They say it will raise you an inch and a half.

 

do you run a luggage rack for it, or do you just strap it to the sissy bar?

brother, if this is true, NO ONE is as long as you are

 

After installing a Mustang seat I wanted a little more bend in my knees. So, I did what I will call the "ghostrider mod". I got the idea from his post. I believe he cut and welded the brake rod - where as I ground down the end and ran the threads up. Moved the pegs back 1-1/4". Been raining a lot so I haven't been able to go for a ride but it feels good in the garage.

 

5'7" with 28" inseam here, I prefer my highway pegs over forwards. The nice thing too is you have two different positions to put your feet, mid mount pegs for the twisty's and highway pegs for cruising.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I use the Harley Sundowner seat which adds a little height.

 

I put mid pegs on with my forwards so that I still have those positions (along with the mini boards).

 

I'm only 5"4 but my girl is much taller !

 

Recommend you find a bike with forwards and sit on it a bit, if you go to a dealer and got the liscense see if they'll let you test it out.

I'm 5'9" 32" inseam and can't really get comfy with forward controls so I'll settle for just some leg room on the long trips with some highway pegs.
