I've got an '01 WG that I picked up late last fall. I've got her up and running now, but I'm not real comfortable with my rider position. I've got the OE seat and forward controls. I put some 12" mini-apes on her as well. I'm 6'1" and I feel like I want to push back and up to get comfortable. Where would you guys start? Seat? Like maybe a sundowner? What about a solo seat? Some forward control extensions? My arm position is good, it's more the lower back and legs where I'd like to get some relief. TIA for your suggestions.

I would start with the seat. Check out Allen at Mean city cycles. He re-did my seat to sit me forward and down but if you read the thread he can do about anything.

Hey man I would put some forword ext. on with heel rest ,I raised to 14" bars fits me like a glove now .I have been looking at a different seat though.

 

i have a reduced reach sundowner on my lowrider i hate it im all up in the tank im 6' 4 and im either going to have the seat cut back to fit me or buy a different seat i have 2 inch extentions on fwd controls i just need to sit back alot furture than it allows me to

 

sundowner is not the answer as it pushes you in just a little bit more than stock. some guys have mentioned they had it scraped back in the saddle area and they liked it.
sorry I am no help on other models for tall guys.
I am 6'0" and I like my sundowner just fine.

 

I feel like I have posted this info a lot. Guess a lot of us tall folk are in the same boat. I am 6'5" tall and put 2" extensions on the forward controls, replaced the stocker with a LePera Daddy Long legs seat and added 13" apes. Good luck making it yours!
