get one with mid controls

 

You like mid controls with a big twin? Can take a look at the Dyna Low Rider. It is not much more expensive compared to the sportster. I'm also small and scrawny. Its about the same size as a sportster. But if you're not looking for a big twin, the 883R should be good to get through traffic with good enough torque.

Harley Davidson is not just a bike, it's a lifestyle......

Please explain more on the mid control & reach seat ,thank you guys.

 

front and mid controls are just your feet controls (brake and gear shift) at different positions.

 

Comparing Sporties

Front Controls

Controls are in front of the transmission case.

Can see that the feet is going to be further front from the backside, stretched out (Enjoy the chiobabe at the same time.)

 

Mid Controls

At the transmission case

Feet is relative near the backside, thought not like streetbikes which are below the backside

 

This last one is probably a sport's bike. :D

Corrected thanks to throttle: Reach seat is cut deeper and narrower so that the rider with shorter inseam has more reach to the ground

Ok la. Big twins are exactly higher. In fact I think the 883R is higher. Just that big twins must open legs a bit more that's why seems higher. But we all love spreading our legs and having a hot throbbing machine between them. hee.

 

Anyway you'll need getting used to when switching different bikes. I still remember when I switch from a Shadow to a Sporty it was so "no used" to it. After a month or so. zip zip zip like road runner.

unless i'm having the wrong impression of what a rearset is,

 

your feet is always in front of your backside, only a matter of how far.

I wear a flip-up helmet on my usual rides to work. Too many lorries & pebbles to contend with. A half cap on my weekend rumbles around the neighbourhood.

 

I try not to fall in the trap of buying too many helmets (even though the temptation is always there). I only have one head :p

Just wanna check wit u guys.. how many of u really wear a ff on ur ride?

Does any1 wear 1/2face mask?

 

In the country...open face with flip up/down face shield.

Travelling to MY and Thailand...full face.

Most experts aren't...and research is the difference between speculation and investment.

Full face - On long rides e.g malaysia and thailand

 

Half cap - Spore.
