Wide Glide of course. Forward controls and mini apes.

I'm gonna second the wide glide with forwards. Been eying that bike for some time myself. 6' with a 34" inseam. Love leg room when I'm riding.

I also agree. However, my 33" inseam feels a little cramped on my WG. When cruising, I usually hang my heels over the footpegs to get a nice feeling of being stretched out.
I wish the foot pegs were actually about 2" further forward than they are now.
Hmm......sounds like a fabrication project.....

Any of the dynas with forwards would give you the same legroom. I'm 6'6" and I put forwards on my 06 fxdci. I'm gonna extend that by another 3" with the kuryakyn kit which will fit any 06 Dyna as long as it has forwards fitted. That means the distance from the pegs to the shifter linkage, and brake linkage is the same on any dyna. The only variable is the seat height, I don't think the seat is any are further back on the WG than other Dyna models.

Forwrd control extensions

Not sure how they compare to Softails and Tourers. I think the legroom on a softail standard would be about the same wouldn't it ? You can extend those too if you want.

Now I am going to disagree with the Glides here. I am also 6ft 3 and find I have more room on my RoadKIng than on an Ultra. The reason is the seat, on the Ultra the bucket actually pushes me forward further making me more cramped than the RKC!! In addition I have Lindby bars with forward pegs for long distance cruising giving plenty of optional positions to allow moving around. See pic, but really this is the most room on any Harley. Even with the Mustang seat still plenty!

Wide Glide.

6'4" - 34" seam, no complaints.

Forward controls are a must. Possbily getting extensions. Definately getting heel rests. Don't want to feel like I'm standing on my pegs on long rides.

Bike's still new to me though, so I haven't had enough time to know over the long-run.
