Hey, Jay,
Greetings from the other side of the pond!
About your leg positioning while on your America... do please consider getting floorboards. While you'll have to move your feet forward to operate the controls, you can slide your legs back so your heels hang over the back of the floorboard and that is a very comfortable position.
I'm 5'13" so my positioning is different than yours, but SWMBO is only 5'4" and the 'boards make is easy for her to ride.
Regards & WELCOME!
