Here is Mike at 5’10” 225 on the Harley Road King Electra and we really don’t have to say much more but we will. Notice how he literally rides up on the tank, the handle bars down low and he is stretched to reach them. Notice the lack of floorboard space and how he can’t even rest his foot all the way on the floorboard as someone thought it was cool to stick an air cleaner in the knee right over the floorboard. Nice.

You have to have a size 7 foot or smaller to fit your foot on the floorboard the correct and proper way. If you have a bigger foot than a size 7 and ride a Harley-Davidson with a heel/toe shifter it will cause the rider to have penguin foot and walk with a wobble.

Now you see a relaxed Mike, heads up, Alert (first time ever) and with correct seating posture, arm deflection and best of all no pressure on the shoulders, lower back or hip flexors. You would think that whoever designed this motorcycle actually had to ride them. What a concept.

Here is a rider at 6’5” on the Harley, notice how the knees are practically hitting the handlebars and the bike is sitting straight? The Harley actually has you sitting on top of the bike no matter what height you are and as you can see from the photos, it is amplified as the riders get taller. Notice how low his hands are now to place them on the handlebars. There is no room on the floorboard and the dash and the windshield are crowding the rider. I am not even sure this rider could complete a full lock maneuver as the handle bars will interfere.
