I'm 6' 4" and the CV large is the best I've found.

At 6-4 are u still running the further forward stock mid controls? I am 6’ tall and did the mids until recently. With the tall boy seat it wasn’t bad. 6-4 must be tuff no? What seat are you running? I recently tapped and went with forward controls.I have the clear view extra large to go with the st fairing I am waiting for. We’re is your eye sight with the large?

Yes sir, still running the stock controls.I've got a 32" inseam so some of my height is in my torso. That may make a difference but I don't know. I did replace everything with aftermarket stuff but did not change the location. It definitely took some getting used to and adding mini floor boards helped, it's not uncomfortable for me. I'm running a LePera Daddy Long Legs Kickflip. It puts me about 1" up and 2" back. With the large CV I'm looking over it, if I had to guess, I'd say if you drew a line from the top of it back to my face, it'd hit me just under my nose. I really like the CV. I had 2 different KW screens on it and one sucked less than the other.

Dam. I wasn't expecting you to be 6'4"! I'd imagine besides your seat you have to have custom handle bars as well? If you can make it work just about anyone can. Within reason.

Can you take a picture of your bike with your current set up and post it? Really interested in seeing the entire set up. Thanks.

Pretty sweet set up you have there. I'm guessing you didn't like the stock hardshell bags? You also had the adjustable shock handle installed. How much did that cost? I think that should come stock from the factory on the ST. Actually looks better too vs the fake oil tank looking think they come with stock. What size risers did you go with? 6 inch?

The windshield looks really good. Especially since it's dark. I don't like the big clear ones. They don't look good. The dark tint blends in with the fairing. I wonder how I would fair with that at only 6ft tall? Would I still be able to look over it? If not I could get a shorter size.

What would you say your total cost of the bike is with all your mods?

That's an Ohlins rear shock and hydraulic preload. You can't do that with OEM... Not enough length. I like that solution over others, but I just zip tied mine out of the way. Once I set it, I forget it.

Actually, where do you get that cover for the Ohlins? Who makes it? And how is it attached underneath. Looks like you used the mounting bracket but I don't know to what.

@Powermankw it's an HD part for the SE Ohlins stuff. Here's the link for it. I thought about the zip tie route but figured what the hell and got the side cover. Comes with the mount for the adjuster, fits up like a stock side cover.
