My bike was totaled last year. After adding helibars, ultimate seat, lower front end monotubes, 1 inch lowering link and Mc Cruise ctrl, I was still not comfortable riding F6B due to my short inseam. I was at Sturgis last year and rented Street Glide special. Liked the way that bike fit me. But it was surprising that unladen seat height on street glide was 27 inches with only less than 2 inches of suspension travel. Whereas seat height on Indian chieftain is 26 inches with close to 4 inches of travel. After riding chieftain I liked the way it fit me.

I've enjoyed being on this forum. Folks here are amazing. I'm still going to stick around here. I like to ride long distance and this is gr8 forum to discuss and share info on riding. If i was little more taller I cud have bought another F6B in a heart beat. IMHO no bike is prefect but we have to find that fits us the best. And I think I have found one for now.

Ride Safe !!!

Glad to hear you got back on the horse. 'riding'

Enjoy your new bike! Ride safe! I love my F6B but when I'm riding - very rarely do I look down at the bike. Keep your head up.

Good luck with your new Indian. Polaris seems to have put their focus on their Indian line while ignoring their Victory line. The Indian fit-n-finish appears to be better as well. I noticed Indian uses real paint details instead of paper decals (Victory).

It's a good looking machine and you're still in the wind. Enjoy the ride and be safe. :clap2:

Matters not the letters on the tank. It is still the same wind in your face!

Ride on.

I also have a shorter inseam, but with the Mustang seat and tall heels on my boots I am fine for now...Never owned an Indian motorcycle, but have had two Victory's and they were nice bikes...If I go back to a V-Twin ride it will most likely be the Victory Magnum as it is a gorgeous motorcycle in my opinion....Ride safe and enjoy your new bike.....

Opus, you don't wear the same high heels that Katlin Jenner wears, do you? :yikes::nono:

Bill that's just preposterous. Opas has far better style than Caitlyn.

Yeah I had mustang seat too including lower front monotubes and 1 inch lowering kit in the back. I was still not comfortable. After sitting on tons of bikes I realized most comfortable seat height for me was 25 to 26 inches. Seat height on F6B is 28.1 inches.

Wantone,

Nice bike! I test rode the Indian Roadmaster last year at "roar on the shore" in Erie. Very nice motorcycle with great power !
I really wanted a 6 cylinder bike this time, so I decided on the F6B. Good luck and enjoy. See you in Beckley sometime. Keep the rubber side down. :yes:
