Every source I have seen lists the C5 as being 50 inches in length.   I assume this is incorrect.  Does anyone know what is the actual length of the C5?

I measured and remeasured mine.  I have no idea where 50 in could be unless they are measuring from the front forks to the rear axle thats about ~50.  From the leading edge of my front tire to rear fender is just over 80in. Technically the rear tail light sticks out another 2 or 3 inches if you need to know that.

Maybe the 50 inches is the wheelbase?

I think they list the wheelbase as 54" which seems about right.

Thanks.  I was just curious as to how it compares to my Electra.   It seems like the proper dimensions aren't listed anywhere.   Even magazine articles list it at 50".   I guess people are just copying and pasting the same info.
