09's are taller!!!!
« on: August 31, 2008, 10:47:32 PM »
  I was shocked!  Went by the dealer today to get new rubber for the rear of my 06 RG and while there saw a new 09 RG.  Decided to sit on it and my heels did not touch the ground.  Felt like they were an inch off.
  Strange, on my RG I am flat footed with an ever so slight bend in the knee.  But then I'm only 5'6".  Got me wondering about my new SERG.   I know its 3/4" lower than the stock ones.  Does that mean I will almost sit flat footed???
   It felt like the suspension did'nt even budge when I sat on it.

Sitting on the '09 SEUC it seemed to me lower than the '08 SEUC. Thats good. Wonder what is different on the SERG?

Can't always tell from the published specs from Harley (since they are prone to mistakes), but the seat height for the 08 and 09 RG's are listed as identical at 26.9" laden and 29.5" unladen.  The 09 SERG is listed at 26.3" / 27.9" seat height.
