How TALL are R12R owners?

Post by crewzzn88 »

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

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.

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?
