Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide has a 648 mm seat; the Harley-Davidson Super Glide sits at 640 mm — a 8 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 65 cm for the Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide and 64 cm for the Harley-Davidson Super Glide.
That makes the Harley-Davidson Super Glide the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
