Can a 6'5" dude fit on a Deuce?
I'm in the market for a HD. I currently own a Suzuki Volusia and looking to switch to the "real bike" side. However, being 6'5" tall I need to be able to stretch the legs out and hoping the Deuce will allow me to get a comfortable stretch. Others have recommended the Wide Glide but I prefer the style of the Softail Duece. Any long legged creatures out there ridng a Deuce that can share their thoughts?

If you really have your eyes set on a Duece, then get the Duece, you will have to get some forward control extensions (i did and im only 5'10), maybe a different seat and play with the bar set-up. In reality you would be more comfortable on a stock Wide Glide, but when you know what you want, its hard to buy something else. Goodluck. [sm=icon_ladiesman.gif]

I'm 6'3" with the 3" foward control extensions kit you should be fine. i have the kit and it made a huge difference in the comfort. you might find a 4" ext kit as well.
hope that helps

i'm 6.1 and have the 3 inch extensions on mine. another thing is, how long are your legs?? i have long legs for a 6.1 guy. if your tall above the waiste, maybe you'll just need simple stuff....bars.....if your height is in the legs, you may want a longer bike or at least some very extended controls......

6' 4" here - extended forward controls and I love the bike. I have the 3" Arlen Ness extension and am very comfortable... you can also get the Agoura custom seat if you desire additional stretch - it supposedly moves you back 3 inches.
