Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Harley-Davidson Shrine Ultra Classic Electra Glide has a 693 mm seat; the Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited sits at 699 mm — a 6 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 69 cm for the Harley-Davidson Shrine Ultra Classic Electra Glide and 70 cm for the Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited.

That makes the Harley-Davidson Shrine Ultra Classic Electra 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 Ultra Limited 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.
