Default Introduction Thread

New member interested in mods for the very tall rider.
18" Apes are nice but at 6'8" I think 20's would have been even better and still legal.
Extended shifter without heel shifter works for size 15 boots over extended floorboards that are lowered with brackets from Tall Boys. A few sparks here and there remind me there is always a trade off.
Brake pedal from TB is nice that its' lower and easier getting on and iff it but too low to allow boot under it. The guys there are willing to work with me to modify.
Tall Boy seat is slated for MeanCity to work some magic getting me up and back just a little bit more.
Extended the mirrors and have a 22" shield.
looking at going to a 26" shield (what a monster that will be).
Removed stock air shocks and replaced with Jri's at 275lbs plus passenger etc etc this was a no brainer.
In the end I wouldn't say the bike 'll be pretty but a true Road King, yes.
