I won't be able to ride it until May or April at the earliest. In the shop I feel A little cramped. Input from tall owners wanted?

Had an 11, felt like I was stuffed too far forward. Wound up buying a Corbin to move me back a little.

I have a 2011 that I bought new. I am 6' / 34" inseam. At first it seamed that I was forward and BSR was crowding me. Installed George Anderson TP re locator kit and started racking up the miles. After more than 34,000 am very comfortable with the stock seat. I adjusted the front pegs so that my heal sets on the floorboard and the ball of my foot rests on peg. I guess it is to each his own but I am very comfortable and have had several long days in the saddle.

I am 6'5" and find that I am  to far forward on everything. So on my 07 RG  I put a big boy seat on and it helped until the wife got on then back to crunch. The 2013 I had rented in Colorado for 2 weeks started off feeling kind of crunchy but really after couple days was not an issue. Now have a RG ultra and it is a really different feeling I believe because of the redesigned fairing. 600 miles do not feel scrunched at all , my .02 worth

I am 6'4" with a '11 FLTRUSE and am comfortable with stock seat and handlebars. I do not have a BSR that rides. My previous bike was a '10 Ultra Limited and bought the Tall Boy seat which pushed me back 1.5" and was perfect. I have ridden mine over four 900+ mile days with no neck or shoulder issues. BTW, sat on the '15 and did not like the seat/handlebar/floor board config. It is for less tall and arranged for cruising not touring. IMO

Hear you but the handlebars have to be rotated from the stock position which is borderline ridiculous..

I'm not tall and I'd like to be a little farther back on my CVORK. Getting a C&C Fastback.

I thought just us short legged guys do that cause we cant reach the cruise pegs. :huepfenlol2:

Any problem installing the George Anderson kit with the amplifier?

No problems with the amp...Georges kit goes between the pack and the stock pack mounting bracket...You don't have to touch the amp...Its a great piece and I highly recommend it.
