Riding Position

Post by MikieTaps »

So I have been trying a few different riding positions, and does anyone else find it much more comfortable to ride with their feet on the passenger foot "pegs" and lean a little forward more like a sport bike? I have found it much easier to lean, balance at a stop, and handle larger bumps and potholes... It makes me feel more like I am on a waverunner as far as handling and shock absorbtion goes...

Depending on the street I'm on I prefer the legs straight out on the Rattler like as if they are resting on highway bars. I like to shoot the shocker down low at the HD's and Caffe's and watch there reaction. :lol:

I find the leaning forward / feet on passenger rests uncomfortable.

I usually shift from the front of the seat to the back of the seat sometimes though. And sometimes I stand up straight. :)

i like the diversity, especially on longer rides. i just find myself repositioning without even thinking about it. it makes we wonder how comfy a mc would be.
