Ferret, you have a short inseam, what say you?

Can’t help with the 2-up (never do it) or long trips as I have a road bike for that.


Well at 5 5 1/2" with a ridiculously short inseam depend on how you guy want to measure, I don't flat foot anything, but I am very comfortable on my 2014 dlx as it came from the factory. I had to lower my ST 1300 and FJR to feel comfortable and on the FJR I wear boots like Gordo describes with the large vibram sole.

I'm usually a 2 balls of the feet down or 1 foot solidly down and 1 foot on the peg at a stop
