6'6" 250....36" inseam.The only choice for me was a WideGlide...It definitely has thetallest seat height of any stock HD.

6' 220lbs. 07 Street Glide with pull back bars. Thinking about adding some forward controls to stretch out the legs a bit, butit's a pretty good set up as is. Also, have the 10 inch shield.

6'4" and 280 here. Softail Springer with 3" forward control extensions, and Mustang Duke seat. Works perfect for me, and is very comfortable.

6-3 with a street glide. I have Chubbs bagger bars, corbin seat, and highway pegs for comfort. Bars and pegs are a must for comfort, normal bars suck for anyone with height.

I'm 6'2" and 290. Put on12" pullbacks and a Fatboy seat with back rest. A set of Hi Way pegs on the crash bars and it's like sitting in my lazy boy. I can stretch right out and because I sit down in the seat the COG is just right. Very comfortable ride. My buddyis 6'7" and has a 02 RK Police completely stock and he says he is comfortable as well. As was said above, with all the aftermarket available, you can pretty well tweak anything to fit.

Thanks for all the information. It seems the general consensus is to buy a bike you really like then modify it to fit your needs.

People crack me up throwing off on sporties. What the majority of you that are downing the sporties don't realize is that they are not much different in size to any of the others besides the big RK's. Dynas, etc. are simply wider. You boys that are 6'2" and 350 pounds need to go see jenny craig or something.... I am 6'3" and about 270 and the sporty I have fit me just fine. Now for the dude that is 6'6" yea you would look really large on a sporty or any bike for that matter. Get jesse james or someone to build you a bike like the one he did for shaq, lol.

6'4" - 275lbs. Road Glide w/stock seat, handlebars and floor boards. I'm looking at the Mustang solo to move back and down a bit and a set of handlebars to change the reach. No big hurry. The bike is comfortable on 750 mile day rides as it is now.
