I'm 6'4"/220 but for most of my FXDC ownership, I was up around 250 lbs. No issues at all with my weight and even comfortably carry my wife on the back as well. I had standard length forward controls, though, and finally decided they were too short. Swapped them out for extended forwards and now I can't be happier.

5-11 240lb on a fxdc. I had to get rid of the stock seat immediately because of back ache. The mids went a thousand miles later and forwards went on and it is a very comfortable bike now for 300+ mile days of my 50 year old skeleton.

Thanks alot for the input guys! I'm pretty sure between the combination of guys saying that they're 250+ and the guys saying they're 6'2+ I'm sold on this bike.
No BS I thought about this bike all day at work today. I am 99% sure this is the bike I'm gonna have to buy this spring!!!!!!! Just SAD I have to wait that long

5'9", 220...... HD forwards with Kuryakyn swingwing pegs, Mustang vintage wide solo, 10.5" fat mini apes on 4" fat risers.. the only time I have to get off is to gas up between 180 and 200 miles.
