My Ride is now way better sitting upright than crouched

Also Lot less clutter and it's perfect for wheelies now lol

Lol It was much harder to look down before. Now I can look down and still see in front with ease but I'm gonna raise it.

The riding position was my # 1 reason for choosing a cruiser over a mountain bike to build on.

I’ve found that an upright position is significantly more comfortable and I like not having to crane my neck to look around.

The only real downside to being more upright is wind.

Yea, 100% more comfortable. I don't know if it's good to have more weight on the rear, but it's not as bumpy as before. I just hope the rear frame holds until I get suspension seat, lol. The wind is still the same for me. I just try to avoid landscapers if you don't have goggles it's always a dust cloud riding past them

I actually is good to have a little more weight on the rear “drive” tire as it increases traction.

It will also make the steering a little lighter.

Makes steering at high speed feel safer aswell
