RE: steet glide/cramped?
Im 6'5" and went with Accutronix forward controls on my SG. I really like the way they have worked out. Much more comfortable although I do need a seat that moves me back about 1-2". Gonna try a C&C seat when funds allow. They will custom fit it based on your height also.

This is where the rubber meets the road for sure!&\\;nbsp\\; We as riders need to fit ourselves to our bikes before we buy or leave the showroom!&\\;nbsp\\; Alot of dealers will make the sale buy putting you in a seat that will make you fit the bike!&\\;nbsp\\; I&rsquo;m short (5&rsquo;6"\\ and the dealer in Raleigh, NC would have thrown in the reach seat to make the deal!&\\;nbsp\\; I got a better deal in FL...so I went that way!&\\;nbsp\\; But if you ask...the dealer can make it happen!&\\;nbsp\\; <\\;br>\\;<\\;br>\\;FLip that coin and the great thing is that you can buy any seat and extra ya want!&\\;nbsp\\; At Myrtle there was a number of people who would modify your seats and such!&\\;nbsp\\; If your short...no prob...tall...no prob!<\\;br>\\;<\\;br>\\;Look around!&\\;nbsp\\; Make the dealers work for you!&\\;nbsp\\; You&rsquo;re paying a premium for a bike that is bare bones!&\\;nbsp\\; Make the dealer woo you with extras!<\\;br>\\;<\\;br>\\;Mike<\\;br> \\;

I'm 6'2", 225lbs. 34" inseam. \\;

Just bought a Street Glide and thought it fit decent. Feet firmly on the ground. Arms/wrists seemed okay.
Biggest complaint for me (I have not rode in years - metrics - never a Harley) was the brake pedal. For me, half my foot misses the pedal unless I think about what I am doing. Something I'll have to get use to.
I suspect I may need a taller windscreen but won't know until I get some seat time.

RE: steet glide/cramped?
I'm close to 6'3 and about 300lbs, my prob is that I feel the seat is comfortable, but the seat rubs on the bags when \\;I sit on it... I dont really like that, so I would like to look for a different seat. \\; Although I feel like my reach is ok and it is good for me... any suggestions for the seat rubbing the bags? \\;
