The Harley just allows one to spread out, lean back, and ride in comfort all day.
In fact on my road king, there are at least 3 places I can place my feet, under me, away and further away from me.
I guess I like to ride like sitting in the EZ chair with my feet out on the footstool.
This bike- I feel like I am wadded up in an egg.
I love the technology, but the ergonomics are certainly missing.
Esp for a bike with this along of a production run.
There has to be a way to solve it, and I am sure My body will reach a compromise.
The other aspects of the bike make it worth trying.
Give the bike at least six months of seat time to get used to that new seating position before investing in any changes. Being in the Adks, you will have to wait until next year! The best word to describe how I felt at first, coming off a traditional cruiser, is "trapped". I got used to it, and now I believe the seating position is better for longer distance than the foot-forward cruiser.

On another note, I will keep an eye out for you on my annual ride in the Blue Line...didn't make it up this summer, closest I got was Boonville, but perhaps this weekend, depending upon weather.

I rode up Rt 8 to 30 in Speculator last summer, then up to Tupper, ending in Plattsburgh. A 300 mile haul from my place outside Rochester.
