2018 Low Rider for 5'11" with 32" inseam
I'm really digging the way the Low Rider looks, and like the idea of the mid(ish) controls. Is this bike really designed for shorter people, or with the new frame is it just a name? I had a short test-ride, but it is hard to tell how comfortable it would be on the highway for longer rides... Anybody here that's a little taller that owns a Low Rider?

I have the 2018 Low Rider and I'm 6'-0 with a 33" inseam. I think the riding position is great. If you are coming from a feet forward position, it will feel a little folded up until you get accustomed to it. I've been riding every year for nearly forty years, and this bike feels like how bikes used to be, but more modern. While I'm at it, the buckhorn bars are great! Not sure why people think they are weird. They are in fact old school. I put a black Dart Flyscreen on it, looks great, slices on the highway. But this bike really shines on the backroads.

I'm 5'10" and love my low rider. I did put forward controls on it, (you can join "Harley m8 Softail owners group" on facebook for the parts list) but I wish I hadn't. I actually like the mid controls, but I had a goal to figure it out, and peer pressure sucks! LOL. It's a great bike, you'll enjoy it, especially how light and fun it is!
