Platinum Boarder Posts: 4607 Re:Shorter riders and road* bobber owners 9 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I'm 5' 10" @ 178# with a 32" inseam and I don't have any clearance issues, but my seat is a Saddlemen Renegade gel seat. Comfortable & really low right in the center. So low that the back of the rider seat comes all the way to the top of my tailbones. I can also stand over it at stop lights & completely stand clear of the pipes & seat. My bike's not lowered or anything so I'm sure it's all seat making it this way. You can find used Renegades on eBay pretty frequently. I paid $100 for mine, worth it all day long. I've had a couple shorter friends try it for size and they all liked it a lot.   Logged     This fits in here, right? I mean, I can make this fit in here ... right?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1011054 Rd2d57 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 237 Re:Shorter riders and road* bobber owners 9 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Im using a (Daytripper )type seat don’t know the make it was there when I got it. Do the flip and grind its easy and drops you about 2 inches. Ride the bike in some parking lots and really throw it around a bit to get use to it Im 5ft 5in 150lb inseam of 28 so im small. Had my bike since 2010 wouldnt trade it for the world but I am looking to add a 2017 Vulcan 1700 Vaquero real soon.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1011055 JDS (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 51 Re:Shorter riders and road* bobber owners 9 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Spydr wrote: JDS wrote: Spydr wrote: A *Dragger Seat* will put you lower too. He used to be a member here... Haven't seen a post from him in some time Sent him an email inquiry. That may help solve one or two things and allow me to start bobbing the bike and save the point of no return till later. He does really nice work. Did you look at his website? Yeah, already had a couple emails back and forth. Probably going this route I think.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1011094 PistonScuffer (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 56 Re:Shorter riders and road* bobber owners 9 Months, 2 Weeks ago   JDS, are you comfortable with the placement and angle of your floor-boards? I'm short, I needed to build brackets to raise and move the boards back. Up 3/4" and back be 2". The shift lever has to be cut and lengthened to accommodate the board relocation. Made the seating position way more comfortable.
