Tall guy on softail deuce problems
Hey all,
Sorry if this has been covered, i looked. But I am 6'3" with a 34" inseam. I feel all cramped up on the bike. I saw I could move my controls forward but for the uninitiated is that my brake and shifter? What about the pegs? And lastly what seat would anyone with similar problems recommend? I was looking at the Daddy Long Legs until I found out LePera doesn't make it for my bike. ANY suggestions are welcome.
Cheers

Usually a forward control extension moves the shifter, brake lever, and the pegs forward by a preset number of inches. Can't help with the seat, but you would probably need either something low profile that follows the fender...or something tall that keeps your legs more stretched.

I'm 6'1" with a 34" inseam and I moved my forward controls 3", Danny gray buttcrack seat and if your looking for a little more reach in the bars I bought a set of 8.5" risers with 2" pullback and turned them around so the pullback is facing away from me adding a little more stretch.
