The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Standard has a 680 mm seat; the Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited Low sits at 675 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 68 cm for the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Standard and 68 cm for the Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited Low.

That makes the Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited Low 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 Electra Glide Standard 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.
