Hi all,

This may seem like a strange question: what height are those of you who are riding the Breakout? The reason I ask is that I once owned a Rocker C and I struggled a bit due to my height (5' 6"). I also owned a deuce once and found it great. I've looked at the specs for the 3 models and the Breakout falls in between the Deuce and the Rocker C.

Thanks a lot!

I'm vertically challenged at 5' 6" too.  No problem, both feet flat on the ground.

Hehehe i meant was no problem reaching foot pegs, brake pedal, shift?.... Pretty sure we're flat footed on stops on this harleys.   Been riding super sports bikes for more than 10 years now.   My question is I've ridden a springer but need to stretch my foot to change gears  ;D ;D. Planning to get a cvo breakout soon just asking if there's a member here whos about my height if he's having any problem. Coz there was this one time a night train of a friend i cant reach the rear brake pedal n shifter lol.  :(

I'm 5'7" -32 inseam- CVO factory set up for me was low reach with a little lean back-(like a beach bike fit)easy flat footing it.   but I like to sit straight up/arms higher... so I had 10" Apes angled forward and am very happy with it. 
I also have 5'4" buddy with a non-CVO breakout(drag bars) that he flat footed easily too.  He had the CVO bars installed due to having to lean forward to reach and now he says it's perfect. 

The bike should fit great and depending how you like to ride and need to change the bars, you'll have plenty of options.
Good luck!
