6'4" and about 260. I've had two heritages and my wife says I look like I belong on them. She might be prejudiced though. It is the most comfortable feel to me of any of the bikes, touring models included, but that's me. My best friend is 6'7" and about 260 and he is most comfortable on a road glide after trying a fat boy and road king. But that's him. Your fit is your own. You have to sit and ride to find out what is best for you.

Im 6' about 230 and love my Roadking Classic. I think any touring bike, a heritage, or a deuce would suit you well. I had a Deuce and loved it, just wanted bags. Only things with a Deuce is its hard to customize or find parts, and you would have to get a used one. Just my opinions here. Hope it helps.

Hey fellas, been doing alot of looking here lately. Im having a real hard time narrowing down what kinda bike im wanting... But I have been thinking alot about how Id look on each one... Im not a small guy, 6'3 and 280 lbs, so getting a sporty probably wouldnt be my best decision LOL... but would there be any other bikes that big guys like myseslf would need to stay away from... Ive been eyeballing the x bones, low riders, and a few superglides, but Im thinking that maybe I need to go with something like a road king or something along those lines???

funny how different guys like & ride the different bikes. I wanted an Ultra Classic - but looked like a monkey on a football. then tried a RoadKing - same thing. my FatBoy fits me like a glove. I'm 6ft 235#, with 33" inseams.
