You might take a couple of minutes and peruse this thread ... pics of you on your Dyna ...

... has pics of forum members sitting on or riding their Dynas ... some big guys, some not so big ... might give you an idea of how a big guy looks on a Street Bob or Wide Glide ...

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...your-dyna.html

I'm 6'4" w/ 36" inseam ... on a Super Glide (same basic frame geometry as Street Bob) I think with forward controls and maybe a different seat, you'll be okay on the Bob ... or go with the Wide Glide or Fat Bob ...

Good luck with your decision and THX for your service ...

6'4 350 lb, built like a dumptruck with a beard. I rock a 2007 street bob with forward controls and 10" rise wild1 tbars. I am very comfy with the recent addition of a c&c sport tour. The only thing I would change is like most I would go higher (12 or 14") on risers if I had a do over. I may get extensions for forward controls. I am on my phone or I would post a pic of her, pm or see my recent threads for pics.
