The tallboy for pre 08 moves you up the tallboy for 08+ moves back and down. I'm 6'4 with 33 inseam. I liked the tallboy but with the narrow front I would slip forward when stopping. Didn't notice it til after I got off the highway and on my way back to the dealer. Went with the hammock seat back 1 down 1 ish. Very very comfortable, I'm doing 13 inch apes as well. Kury floorboard spacers and then some highways slightly low so I can put heels on boards and toes on the pegs. Or heels over pegs or arches on the pegs. I came from a nightrain with 3 inch extended forwards def felt cramped bit. now if only I could just get away from work for more than a weekend,

I have a 2017 Street Glide Special and have done the following mods: Le Pera Maverick Daddy Long Legs seat (moves rider back 2"); Kuryakyn floorboard spacers; Kuryakyn extended heel/toe shifter and brake lever; LA Choppers 12" Twin Peaks apes. Much more comfortable than stock - no more pain in shoulders. For the record, I'm 6" 3".

I'm 6'5" 330 and wish Harley's were bigger... Got a Tall Boy seat. Heritage Style bars pulled back just a bit past straight alignment with front forks. and highway pegs which I can put my feet out on, or lay my ankles across for a full extension when cruising. Not great, but I can at least go a couple hours before locking up...

Sorry to hear. Clearly you need taller bars. "Locking up" should not be a feature of touring on a Harley. Avoidable.
