However, my hand goes numb sometimes.

This was EXACTLY my issue. The tips of all 8 of my fingers except my thumbs would go numb.

 

I just put the control extensions on mine, but the seat is still bothering me a little bit, i switched the factory to a mustang 2up for the lady and i hate it. given she hardly rides with me at all I'm going to go with a solo from now on till she finally feels the need to go. i've been really thinking about the bare bones, but with whats been said it doesnt sound like the best choice. what seat are you running JY?

ahh, and im 6' 4''...

 

I'm running the Heartland seat that came with the EZ200 kit. I was running the HD solo Brawler and before that, the OEM two-up that came with it. The Heartland by far is the most comfy.

 

how was the brawler?

 

It was ok. The curve wasn't as pronounced as the Heartland.
I sold it to Razorback. It now sits on his Train in California.

 

I think it rides great. After about 150 miles is when I can start feeling it. I had the stock badlander seat before and my wife hated it so after I bought JY's seat I bought the passenger pillion that goes with it and she freaking loves it. No more complaining on the ride. The seat is much happier now that its in a warm state.

Your bike looks great, I need this seat and the tank panel. Still have stock on both.

 

6'2" and had to put on the HD tall boy seat, Ness extension kit for the forward controls. Very happy with the configuration. Did 700 miles on a 3-day weekend and the only complaint was the rain in my face!

In regards to handling, I made the swap to the Heritage front wheel and love the handling.
