Well I went and looked at a lot of bikes today. Couldn't ride any as the weather wasn't very nice, wet roads and 30*

The road glide didn't feel comfortable to me. Just couldn't put my finger on what it was though.

Sat on a 06 night train and fell in love so to speak. Very comfortable. I think forward controls would make it perfect.

Anyway here it is...

I believe those are extended forward controls. How tall are you? Did you sit on the bike you're considering and feel cramped? Good luck in your bike search.

Yes I sat on it. And it was comfortable, I didn't feel cramped. Just think the extra 2-3" would make it perfect.

And I'm 6'3" 32" inseam.
