Dyna to a softy
Hey Folks,
Thanks in advance for any and all help and for your time.
I have an 02 lowrider and I love the bike except for legroom. Ive got the forwards on it and it helps a lot but would just like a lil more.
I know softails are heavier but will they give me more legroom all things being equal? IE forward controls and the like.
Thanks again and hope yall are having a great summer!

X2 it looks like you could have more leg room. My Dyna came with a solo seat and it sits back farther than my Softail with a 2 up. Your seat almost looks like a reduced reach version? I would try another seat for sure. Maybe a set of highway pegs if you are taller than 6 feet.

I'm 6'4 I've got 3 inch forward extensions which helped a lot. I also found a good deal on a corbin hollywood that moved me back 2 to 3 inches and man is it awesome. Gonna send my badlander to mean city cycles for a double decker mod for 2 up riding with 3 inch move back.

From what I have read the bike from HD with the most leg room is the Dyna Wide Glide. Will say I was considering one and the too far reach to the pegs and foot controls (for me) made me not pick it.

Unless you only ride in a straight line, you will not be happy with the (almost non-existent) lean angle of the Softail.

I have an appointment tomorrow to test ride the Fat Boy and the Softail Deluxe so hopefully that will help me decide.
Thanks again for all the help folks. It truly is appreciated !
