Default Softail Covertible Tall Rider question

Any tall rider who is having a softail convertible?
How comfy is it?
I'm 6'2" with 34" inseam

I pretty much wanna blend into my HD when I sit not sittin on top of the motorcycle

Any pics is welcomed

OT: (fender question)
Has anyone gone with a wrap around front fender for the convertible softail and a different rear fender?
I am thinkin of adding a softail to my rocker but hate the look of both the fenders

My bike is a Slim but it has had a number of rear fenders including a Softail Convertible rear fender. The Le Pera Bare Bones is the best seat for me as it sits me farther back and down into the bike. I am 6' 2" with 34" inseam. I prop my heels on front edge of boards. Boards have been moved out and forward 1", also run 2.5" extended brake and shifter. If you decide to change rear fenders PM me and I will take your old rear fender 😂

My current fenders are stretched. The rear fender in the pic is a chopped 200mm Fatboy fender with stock Fatboy 200mm inner struts, I run no front fender when I run the chopped rear. I change my bike from tail dragger to chopper/bobber as the mood hits. Both rears are set up with struts and lights and can be changed in 5 minutes. Heartland charges way too much $ for their stuff IMO. My bobbed fender set up cost $50 for struts and $70 for a wrecked eBay fender which I chopped on both ends, relocated strut holes and radiused wheel opening.

I'd put a set of Forwards on the Convertible.
Whole lot easier to stretch out with forwards than floor boards.
I put a set on my '16 Heritage........
