Thats about the sensation I got when out on the demo rides. Really strange riding position after being "In" my train. I felt so high centered and weird that I too couldnt wait to find a spot to turn around and take that bike back.

But then again being creepy as I am....I felt the same weirdnesss on a new street glide. Like I was on a riding mower type of position. Didnt feel right at all.

Even without the front brake hooked up, I had to ride it...... Had to stay in my addition since I don't have current tags or inspection.....

I hear ya. I'd have to change the seat first thing to a Mustang Solo or something similar to get the butt down where it should be.

I wonder how you would like the ride with a better seat ...
