That's exactly what I mean. "Fits like a glove" is what should be first priority. :2tup: Otherwise it is not going to be as much fun or as comfortable over the longer distances. Yesterday I test rode a Victory Kingpin Tour - a very nice bike and over 1600cc. I enjoyed the ride but I still like the way my bike fits which is half the engine displacement and about 1/3 the cost. Oh, I have a couple more inexpensive things to modify to make it "fit like a glove" but for the moment the stock set up is the best I could find. I'm happy.

Cheers!
