It's great to see pics of bikes with their riders aboard. Gives a bit more perspective, sense of scale sort of thing. She look pretty stretched out there... nice looking bike.

Someone of say my stature, 5' 10" would fit nicely in that saddle.

Re: HD cafe racer done right Reply #4 - 12/27/15 at 19:04:29 Laid out flat, after someone walks on my back, I'm five foot six, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. And I can't picture being comfortable on it. I Do give the girl Props, And it's a good looking bike. If I was taller and stronger and richer, I might get excited about it.

Looks like there is more room in the seat for bigger framed riders. She has a nice pair of goggles.

Some bikers like to wear wallets that are chained to their belts of belt loop to lessen the risk of loosing said wallet at say 110 on some really fast and tasty road, some just wear them to look the part
My solution is a front pocket mini wallet

Just shows that any custom work takes three times as long and twice as much as budgeted.

Good looking gal and best looking HD Cafe' bike I have ever seen.

Why are her goggles on her helmet....and not over her eyes? Huh

I think they got the wheels wrong in the specs on the bike..they claim it is a 16" slotted chrome disc wheel in the back and a 21" front wheel - they both look like spoked wheels to me, and are probably 18" diameter.

Goggles are an accessory, man. They don't look as cool on the face as they do on the lid. She has perfectly serviceable D&G sunnies for eye protection Wink

. Seriously, I do the same thing Embarrassed

. I like em better up there and wear sunnies. Plus, they help stop my LAPD shorty lifting up when I'm pushing on.
