Re:Help! I just don't sit right on my Roadliner 2 Years, 3 Months ago

Ok guys, I know most everyone here has the Roadliner, and you all seem to be over 6' tall. I am 5'9" with short inseam (30) and I just don't seem to fit right on this bike.

I had to install some aftermarket risers to push the handlebars back, and now they are more comfortable. But my feet feel like I am pushing them too far up. I ride a Gold Wing as well, and it could be that I just got comfy with the way I sit on it. I also had a VTX 1800 and I sit nice on it as well. I think I would like to move the foot boards back like 4-5", but of course the engine is in the way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!


If it's a new bike to ya, could be whats known as "muscle memory" you get so use to one particular riding ergonomics, your muscle cell recall that position. could possible take a few rides to shake the feeling.
