Buying New Bike...Need Advice!!
Hey all....I'm currently in the process of buying a new bike. I am looking at a couple different ones and need some insight as to which one would suit me best. First off, a little about me...I'm 6'3" and weigh about 300 lbs. I'm not really fat as in spread out(haha) just big. The bikes I'm looking at are a 2008 Rocker C and a 2010 Wide Glide. The Rocker has 4000 mi on the clock and the guy wants 13,500 for it. It is stock except for Vance & Hines pipes. The Wide Glide is 15,000 and sitting on the showroom floor. I am not looking for a motorcycle to ride for 12 hrs straight, just 2-3 hours at the most. Which bike is a better fit for me? Thanks!

I'm a big dude....6" 230. I'm able to stretch out on my Sloptail and get seriously comfy where I feel like I'm sitting on a Toilet when I ride the touring bikes....
Maybe its just me being creepy but I have way more legroom and stretchability on my 3" extended foawrd controls and minimalist bare bones seat than any other bike in the lineup.
Then again...Maybe I'm just, Creepy!!
