The wife and I are looking at an ultra and we took my father-in-laws for a ride and it was very cramped and not very enjoyable. I am currently riding a suzuki c90T and there seems to be more room even though they seem to be the same length. Does anybody have any thoughts on the matter/

 

I'm 6'2 and don't find my Ultra cramped at all. You may not be used to the dash being relatively close. Also the tourpak on the bike you rode may be in the forward position.

 

Welcome aboard from New York.

I'm 6'2" and the Ultra fits me just fine. The one thing that really helped was to get some Soos floorboard extensions which moved my feet out away from the engine.

 

Welcome from Kalifornia and ditto on the floorboard extensions

 

I am 6'3" and my wife is 5'7", we fit fine on my 03. How heavy are you guys?

 

I go about 265 and the wife around 175. we could use just a little more room!

 

Im afraid to ask my wife, but she is probably around 175, but I am 205, so that is the difference. Can't advise you , cause at my weight we have plenty of room.

 

This mat sound weird but is most of your height in your legs? If so, I can see that. The floor board extensions will help. And maybe a different seat as well?

I have an 09 Ultra and love it but most of my length is in my body

 

I am 6'2" with a 32" inseam so I guess that would be where most of the height comes from. I am going to try to get to a dealer this week and try a stock bike and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks everyone for the posts!

 

Try a Road King test ride too. I rode one before I got my Ultra, and I felt like I had too MUCH room --- like it was built for somebody bigger than me. Especially with feeling like I had to reach too far forward to grab the handlebars & ride comfortably. I'm 5'10", 190. By the way, welcome aboard from upstate PA.
