If the stock floorboards leave you feeling cramped (I am 5'10") here are a few things that come to mind to change your comfort level on the bike. A new seat, different bars, floor board extensions, forward controls, forward control extensions, highwya pegs, mustache bar, etc.

I am right at 6', pic is in my sig. I have 14" bars, HS forward controls with the Ness extensions and a badlander seat. In all honesty, if you don't want to feel too cramped, don't go to a seat that sits you down like mine. I don't feel cramped, but you said you are over 6'. If I was still running the stock seat, I imagine my legs would be stretched out a little more....

You used this on the stock foot boards? Or have you switched to forward controls?
