| I am a taller cat, 6'7". Is the Kingpin a suitable bike for taller riders? Thanks.

| I too had a hard time finding a cruiser that didn't feel like a mini bike between my legs. The only bike I found was the Harley Deuce, but I was looking for something more for long tours. I test road the Vegas and Kingpin and both were the best fits I've had. I decided on the Kingpin and so far I've not been disappointed. By the way. I'm 6'4", mostly legs. On other bike my knees seemed to be above the tank, not like that on either the Vegas or Kingpin.

| | I am a former HD owner -- and 6'5". I was going to trade my Dyna Wide Glide (with forward controls, additional 2" extensions, and a specially-made seat to push me back away from the bars)for a touring HD model. If you are tall like me, you know that those bikes will put your knees into your chest. I was resigned to buying a Road Glide knowing it would look like a toy under me. When I found the Kingpin -- and the sales person was 6'4" -- I fell in love. The position is made for people like us. I know have a new, leftover 2004 that was suped up with stage 1&2 and this is a new world. Go for it and stretch out! |

| Keith,
As I explained to another poster I am only 6' 2" but you can get, as I did, forward floor boards for the Kingpin. It moves them up about two inches and makes a big difference.
Great Bike, Assume Power, and Comfortable. STage one kit sounds awesome. Jon
