I have a buddy that is 6/4 and he had a sportster. It looked as if he was riding a twenty inch huffy. Size does matter maybe a roadking might suit you better. Or a rocker which is stretching you out

Sounds like you're dead set on one of the dark bikes...if not, I'd go with a touring model with apes (would fit much better out the door).

Hey bigtommy, which ever bike you get, you need to post some pics right away. You'd think with all the pics of bikes on here we'd have enough.... Nope we need more pics!!

I'm Kinda late here... but I'll throw in my .02
you can modify any bike to fit your size / style...
different seats... forward controls...bars and risers....etc...

buy the bike "YOU" like the best....and then modify from there....

I agree. I bought a Heritage because it fit me best in the showroom, but it still needed a handlebar swap to fit me just right. I'm 6'5".

I have a friend that is 6'5", over 300lbs. He rides a FatBoy with 14" Carlinis and aftermarket seat. Fits him good.

I've seen really big guys on XBones too.

Pick your favorite and make it fit!
