5'10, @225 ... Mustang vintage wide solo for a seat, forward controls, fat mini apes on 4" fat risers... can ride all day long.. and keep up with anybody. Dyna is the most versatile Harley you can buy, in my opinion.

I'm 6' 2" and 235 lbs and ride a wide glide. Also no problems but need to move to a different seat other than the stock seat. Wife wants to ride so I will need a seat for 2 up. Any suggestions?

I'm 6'4" and 255. I'm very comfortable on my FXDC with forward controls and drag bar. Floorboards would make it perfect though.

I am 6'1" 225lbs gym rat and I love my 2010 Street Bob. Bought it with forward controls and the mini apes fit me well. Might be moving to some 14" or 16" black apes soon since they bike looks so ba with them. I can tell you that with a girl on the back mine still has lots of power to spare.

For some reason ever since I got this thing the girls are treating me like a little kid treats one of the penny rides in front of the supermarket......they beg me for a ride and through a fit if I say no haha

6' 2" and 280 here. I ride a Super Glide Custom and love it. I have forward controls which makes it more comfortable for me. As for hitting the gym, what's a gym!
