|
I'm getting back to the build i started last spring. It's been on hold for months. It's gonna be a hardtail bobber. I'm not sure on how much streach i should do because I am only 5'61/2" tall and my ankles are paralized so i can't extend them when using highway pegs. I will not be using a springer seat it will be a sadle (not sure if thats what its really called) type seat that sets at the front of the rear fender. So my question is how tall are you, how much streach is your bike, and how well do you reach the pegs. I guess i need to hear form the short people . I don't really want to do zero streach because i don't like the look as much. Truth is I'm not sure if i can still handle a bike, but I'm gonna give it a try. If it don't work out I'll just sell it. Thanks For Your Help MIKE

I would use a 4" stretch, and mid controls. And I would re-think the no srung seat thing. If you have never ridden a rigid frame, you should try to find a buddy to let you try it. forward controls with a rigid=very little control.
