R100, I have three, my S3, HD and a little XR200. Because I ride them all and often, it's no biggie to switch, it only takes a couple of minutes.

Any riding position is really a matter of a) getting used to it and b) preference. I didn't really like the fwd controls on the HD until I got used to it. It actually handles better with them because there's more weight up front. If I use the passenger pegs, as I do sometimes, the front goes a little light.

Have fun on the America, you'll settle in soon.

Mick

Buy some front mount sliders from skyking and practice putting your feet on them while riding.... Pretty soon the feet froward riding position will come naturally. :-D Otherwise buy an old HD to practice on..... seems like most of those require you to have your legs, up front, staight, and spread :wink:
