Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Harley-Davidson Street Glide 3 Limited has a 693 mm seat; the Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra sits at 688 mm — a 5 mm difference.

That makes the Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra 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 Street Glide 3 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.
