Yes - I have trouble fitting on ALL bikes. I have a 25" inseam and I typically wear boots with about a 2" heel on them. Even so I can only tiptoe most of the low rider bikes.

My Honda Shadows Spirit 750 has a 26.6 inch seat height stock. I trimmed 1.5" off the seat to be able to touch the ground. I can't put both feet flat but I feel pretty comfortable with just my toes down.

I'm also looking at adding risers to reach better.

the ERC covers a lot of the same material as the BRC. The main difference is that you do it on your own bike
