Good morning and thanks for adding me to this Forum.
I am liking the look of the 535 GT continental but at 5 foot six is it feasible,
Many thanks.

I'm 5' 9" but with a 29" inside leg - which is short

I have no trouble getting my feet down on my GT535

Well, welcome, best of luck and happy hunting! You've come to the right place for getting a Conti running as it should. Where are you?
So badass my Enfield's actually illegal  in India. Yet it squeaks by here in Virginia.

Well, if you're in the Midlands, then you might do well to check out the Midland Bullet Riders for fellowship and possibly advice on other local offerings for sale thereabouts.
