How TALL are R12R owners?
Just wondering what the average height of a R12R owner is. Also mention if you fiddled with the suspension or not.

Re: How TALL are R12R owners?
I am 5'6" / 167cm. No changes to the suspension, though a low seat by Sargent helps alot.
Edit: I think a Dyna Lowrider is a Harley of some sort.

Re: How TALL are R12R owners?
Better question - what size are you (height, inseam).. we might be better able to make some suggestions that way.

6´3", 36" inseam, standard seat. Higher seat would probably be more comfortable. Considering the replacement..
How do you adjust the stock seat?jimadams68 wrote:6', 4" 220lbs... stock seat at highest adjustment. No issues at all.
