    Im within a few pounds of ya. Get the standard. Unless ya ride 2 up mostly. Even then the standards are fine. I'm hearing from many bikers that they tried the standard progressives and took them off because they were too stiff. (Light weight individuals!) I have them set to normal seat height. They can be adjusted 2" lower for the vertically challenged
