5'10" here and the mids are great for around town, but after a half hour on the highway I find myself wishing I had forwards or highway pegs.

I would think the bike will fit you perfectly. I'm 5'11" and about 195 pounds. Have the mids, hi-way pegs. I might go to forwards eventually, but as long as I have the option to shift around and hang my feet off the pegs when I'm cruising I'm good - for now. The is a real nice ride. Beautiful balance and hauls ***. I think you will be quite pleased. I'm more pleased every time I ride mine.

Im 6'4" and love my FXD i had to get the forwards on mine because my inseam is 35". But I love it just get a new seat the stock one will make you a$$ hurt and go numb after a little while.

What he said.

I'm 6ft7in with 36" inside leg and I test rode a Street Bob today. You just need to change 1 think - fit forward controls. After that I'd look at the seat - it's hard and a bit small. Next the bars would go but that's personal choice. Leaving these things aside it's a great bike and handles really well. I'm looking at getting a Super Glide Custom over winter.
