That thing is sick! That's some big G's in that brother. Love the wheels, and you know your right, I've been on the big dollar Metric bikes and they are just missing something ya know. The Harley feels like it was cut out of a solid piece of metal. Can't wait to get the mod's done on mine.

Do what I did,

1. Have stock seat shaved back 3 inches.

2. Drag bars to stretch me out up top.

3. 2 inch forward control extensions (do a search on ebay or I can give a link if your interested).


I'm 6'3" and comfy as hell now.

I've never seen a circus bear on a harely before!! LOL!

However, If your concerned about looks while riding your harley....
Maybe you should examine the shorts and tennis shoes with no socks????

I think thats hurtin the whole "effect" more than your size LOL

I love everything about them. I love the narrow tank, big front wheel, however can't seem to get past the fact that I may be too big a guy for one. Bought one anyway, just curious if I look like a circus bear.

Thanks

Tennis shoes with no socks.....actually I just sat on a friends and said "take a piture, I wanna see the size of me compared to the bike." I agree, not the look I'm going for.

Big folks look big on any stock Harley.

The local dealer remarked to me recently "you make that Street Glide look small"

Oh well!
