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.

6'1" with a 32" inseam. Fits just fine for me. Could use a taller windscreen, which is why I ordered a Clearview 6.5 recurve.

m.a.c.

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

I'm 6'2", 225lbs. 34" inseam.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
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.

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&nbsp\\;I sit on it... I dont really like that, so I would like to look for a different seat.&nbsp\\; Although I feel like my reach is ok and it is good for me... any suggestions for the seat rubbing the bags?&nbsp\\;
