I bought an 06, 1300 a little more than a month ago and am having some fitment problems and need some expert opinions. My problem is after about 50 miles my hamstrings start to tighten up and it actually becomes painful to ride.
I've got 2100 miles on this bike already so I don't think it's a muscle memory problem any more. I'm in pretty decent shape overall ( I run 12 minute, 2 mile splits and can squat 240 so it's not a strength issue) I have the seat set as level as I can get it, middle notch at tank and 3rd step on seat. I have risers and MCL highway pegs so I do move my feet around and don't keep them in the same place forever.
I'm 6'2 and 185 with a 34 inseam so I have long legs. I'm thinking my next step is to try the MCL peg lowering blocks and see if it gives me any more comfort. Anybody else have this problem?
I came from a cruiser where I had back problems because of slouching and traded it for hamstring tightness!
