question for the taller riders here??
I'm actually going to post the same thing in two forums to try to get answers before I decide to buy another bike. My wife started riding with me, so I am looking for a better 2 up bike! Dyna is great but not for both of us!
I've been looking at 01-05 and 07-11 Heritages and I noticed there is not any leg room for the taller riders! I'm 6'5 to 6'6 depends on the day if I slouch or not... sitting on those years bikes, they aren't that comfortable for me to operate the brake or shift gears. now by chance I was at a dealership that sells used bikes so I sat on many, AND I actually found one that was comfortable that being a 2018 114 bike. I noticed that the floorboard mounts are different? will those boards mount to older bikes??
I'm looking at the older bikes as most of them are finished pieces and I wouldn't have to add anything!! unless I buy a low bar bike!
thanks for any thoughts or advice

thank you sir.... just clicked on it...
this is a lot of ..
don't know how I missed it?? oh it was in the touring page.
now for the Heritage any thoughts? I like the way it sits vs the King. I can get away with 14 in bars vs having to go 20 plus on the King
