They'll need to be fitted bloody high to stop them dragging. Will look.....interesting, on a low bike like a Breakout.
It's OK, you can only lean them over by about 7 degrees anyway
Is there a Harley that's "just right" as it comes out of the crate?

Cock on !!
Back in the '90s I bought a new FXRS Lowrider. It was perfect (for me) straight out of the box and I never touched a thing. Whenever the dealer saw it he said that is was so 'different' as it was bog standard..
I kept it nine years and got top TOP money for it..
ANOTHER...'I should never have sold it' bike....
The original question isn't unique to HD. Most people farkle their bikes. It's part of the fun of ownership, regardless of the fact that bikes have infinitesimally small degrees of adjustability compared with cars.
In my car I can adjust the seat backwards or forwards and up and down. The steering wheel also adjusts. I can get it exactly how I want it. Then the lovely Mrs Saint drives it and moves everything!
Will a 10 stone, 5'5" rider and a 20 stone, 6'6" rider both be equally comfortable on the same bike? Unlikely.
Would I be equally comfortable on my gs and my 790 Duke? Not without minor adjustments.
To the OP. Good luck finding the right bike for you, standard or otherwise.

If you ride in the middle lane, your right hand pannier will be in the fast lane.
I think the camera adds 8"!
Whilst it may look wide, with the Givis fitted the bike's a full 6" narrower than my F650 was with BMW factory luggage, and it's also narrower (just) than a stock R1250GS.
All this might prove is that the factory luggage in the F650 was poorly thought out. Whatever, I don't care. I can carry my sandwiches to work
That’s very neat, Rob.
Proper orange supercar too !!
