Default 6'3" on a FXDXT?

Looking to buy a '00-'05 fxdx. I'm 6'3". Can a dyna be modded to fit a tall guy. I've ridden dynas at demo days, to cramped stock. Right now I'm riding a Road Glide with extended floor boards, tallboy seat. Would a dyna sport still be sporty with forward controls?

I'm 6'3" and have no problem. I have standard forwards. I can see where the extended forwards would be more comfy, but I didn't want to give up any more of the sportiness. There are a few guys on here at our height that still use the mids. I put bars on with less rise and pullback than stock, and I lean into them more now. Not cramped at all

6'3" here, I have an FXDX with mid controls. Love it, I did have to add highway pegs for the longer rides though.

I would think that forwards or possibly extended forwards would be the way to go at 6'3". 5'8" and mids suit me just fine. The mids are nice for serious canyon carving.
