You need to visit a local dealer and do a test sit.

Greetings,

I think you'll find it fits you fine, but yes, visit your dealer. I'm sure they've got on you can sit on and see for yourself.

+1. Agree'd with what he said.

What would make you think your to big? From what you wrote, your not a very big guy, and the super glide is not a small bike, so I'm confused? If your looking for something huge, then go with a boss hoss or something.. lol.

Height and weight seem pretty normal. If your ht/wt were extreme, say 4'11" or 6'11" and 90lbs or 390lbs you would probably have a lot more issues.

What are you riding now? You may find a different model more comfortable. Advice about sitting on a buch of bikes is good.

You're gonna mode the bike anyway but you might decide you want a different seat, handlebars, or maybe forward controls if the bike doesn't have them, but you'll fit easily. 6'4"/225 here.
