Lots of good info guys. Thanks!
Yes, I am working on getting healthier, especially since we have a baby on the way. Started going back to the gym and eating better. I'm a big guy, but my legs aren't that long. I'm about 265lbs and 6' tall, but wear 30" length pants...
PowerDubs, what type of seat and bars are you running? Look like a nice classic combo.
I was trying to imagine where my arms would feel most comfortable as I was riding, but I'm not really sure yet. I kinda thought maybe a little wider or angled like PowerDubs' bars and a bit forward might work, but wouldn't know until I tried it.
I might try the Airhawk pad, was reading some good things about it. Haven't heard of Kontour seats until now. I have a Street Shield EX but usually run without it.
My last bike was an 08 Yamaha Roadliner that I bought new the beginning of 2010, and I really like it. I was just ready for a change, and had been admiring the CB since it came out. Realized they were getting scarce, didn't know they stopped bringing them over so quickly. Figured I'd go get one. Still need to get mine set up for carrying a passenger with a backrest for my top case, and install the hard side cases. Probably need to upgrade the rear shocks at some point as well.
