PA cruiser/custom rider says hi!
Posted: Sun Feb 25, 2007 12:35 am
Hi!,
I’m an aging professional who owns both a cruiser and a custom. I’ve ridden bikes off and on for over 40 years and currently own two bikes, a Hardbikes 06 330 Pro Street custom that I enjoy showing off about town and my 04 Yamaha VStar 1100 Classic cruiser I love to ride when I go touring on those long trips.
I’m a tall 6’2” 190 pound fellow with a long arm and leg stretch. To make the VStar fit me I had to have the seat beefed up some to lift me up a little higher off the ground. Then I added a pair of pullback risers that raised the bars 2 inches higher and back 2 inches. Last, a pair of adaptors that moved the foot controls 3 inches forward, plus a comfy backrest and good saddlebags for those long trips. I can ride this bike for hours on end and be quite comfortable.
On the over hand there's my 330 Pro Street. Wow talk about muscle, built by http://www.hardbikes.com, this thing can snap your neck if your not careful. Purchased the bike from a local dealer and it was an interesting yet enjoyable experience to say the least. You sit on this device that enables you to adjust the exact placement of the handlebars, foot controls and seat position, right where they feel the best for your particular stature.
Summers coming!
Northeast rider.
