Too big for a Dyna?

6' 1", 300 #s, size 13 boot, and I ride a SB. NEED forwards, I also added longer pegs, longer grips, and 2" risers. I logged over 1,750 miles in a trip also. I put a more comfortable seat on, but that wasn't for fit, just comfort in the butt.
My wife has a WG and it would need mods for me to be comfortable on it. Sure it had forwards but with those bars you have to fold yourself over for the clam shell position.
The only must was forwards for the SB, the others are nice additions but not deal breakers, the WG would need bars. My SB was cheaper even after forwards also....

I am 6'3"about 230lb and have a SB. It has forwards.(can't ride it w/o them)
Am very comfortable on the SB.
I had a '10 FXDWG. I put Apes on it. It was OK. Almost the same as riding the SB.
Am on my 4th FXDB now. Ordered this one with the forwards.
There is enough room on either one for a big guy to stretch out with forwards.

I'm 6'2" 235. I chose the WG over the FB, mainly because I like the looks of it better. I added 2" riser extensions for a little more comfortable grip until I decide what I want to do with the bars, but I love it. I can really stretch out. That said, at the right price, I think you'd be happy with either one.

Am I the only person who thinks the opposite. I have a Fat Bob but wonder if a sportster might have been better. The Bob is perfectly comfortable and easy to ride, but I just wonder if a sporster might be more 'flickable' and fun to ride in the twisties. I've never ridden a sportster so I don't know. I'm 5ft 10 and about 168lb.
