I'm 6'2" and the seat is too low. What size shocks come stock? If I get Progressive Shocks at 12.6" how much do you think it will raise the seat height?
Thanks

 

It will raise it about 1 inch. The stock shocks are 12 inch.

 

Try adjusting the stock shocks, I stiffened mine up and it seemed to make me sit a couple inches higher.

 

im 6'2 also, i ride a lepera silhouette with mid controls... and still think my street bob is too high. but good luck with the shocks!

 

Another option might be to put the HD springer solo seat on:

Not to everyone's taste, just throwing out an idea.

 

I swapped out a set of stock 12 inch shocks for 13.5" Progressive gas charged shocks. Remember that the angle that the shock lays at reduces the amount of rise. The 1.5" longer shock actually raised the bike frame less than an inch from the ground. I will probably go for 14"-14.5" shocks next time.

 

I put in 12.5" Ohlins and I can't tell the difference sitting on the bike. The extra travel is nice. You can most likely get your stock seat modified to add height and comfort.

 

I'm 6' 3", my seat isn't too low. Extended forward control probly would have let me stretch out a bit better than standard forwards. But they are still much better than mids. What are you running, still the stock mids?
