Default I am 6'6 on a 2010 street glide need help

Hello new owner of a street glide, quite a big step from my 03 dyna low rider. I was wondering suggestions for seats and windshields. I want to be able to ride the bike comfortably yet with some style. I was looking at the klock werks flair shield 6.5" but am not sure. New world to me having a bagger now. Maybe even dropping the seat down some would help me out

Ive got an FBI seat that sits you back and down a bit. Id make you a killer deal on it. Im 6'5" and always had a hard time on the SG. the Road Glide is so much better for us big guys..;-))

C&C fastback seat with the tall guy mod. Soos floorboard extensions are a must!

Wow you are 6' 6" and you bought a street glide. You should raise up the suspension to stop your knees for hitting you in the chin.

I'm 6'4" with the same issues. The C&C fastback is a good suggestion but it's pricey. I bought the HD Tallboy seat, $232 at Zanotti. It will put you back 2".

I don't disagree but you can't see it when you're sittin on it. For short rides I use a custom Brawler. Sometimes comfort wins out over looks.

Apes and forward controls will go a long way to making you comfortable.
