Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Honda Shadow Phantom lists a 655 mm seat; the Indian Motorcycle Sport Scout RT lists 654 mm, within a few millimetres of each other. Seat height is only a first-pass ground-reach input. It does not establish safety or actual foot contact. Seat width, suspension sag, boots, mobility, load, and individual proportions can materially change the result.
