I'm not as tall as you but, I'm 5'10 & 280lbs. I went with forwards and got rid of that stock seat. Go with a good seat that moves you back a little and I think you'll be fine. I also swapped out the stock shocks for some progressive 412 hd's.

I'm 6'3" 215 and the wife and I ride two up on mine no problems. I have extended forwards and love them.

6'6" 215 with stock forwards with heel rests set in such a way that they feel like floorboards. I love this bike. It's more comfy for my long legs than the touring bikes.

I was looking at the 2010 Fat Bobs and like them and all that I hear about them but I really enjoy the looks of the Superglides. To me the way my bike is gonna look is obviously important the only problem I have is I'm a pretty big guy and I'm looking for any advice from any other size able riders about how comfortable a SuperGlide with forward controls will be???

I'm 6'3 and about 270 pounds

I'm 6' 3"/300 lbs. (But I plan to lose some!) I ride a 09 FXDC with a Sundowner solo seat. No problems, but I do use mid controls and a pair of floorboards in the forward footrest position. I like the mids for controlling the bike in fun riding.
