Your bars pull back so far. Maybe some bars without pullback would help. It seems those on your bike now definitely contribute to you feeling cramped.

I am 6'3" so I put chubby 507 drags on and accutronix 3" forward controls and by adding this Corbin young guns seat (sits low and back)....it felt really nice but....I didn't like how the bars looked on the bike.





So I went with 14" apes which really put me in a comfortable position and they look way better. The best mod I've done.

I'm 6'4" and didn't have to change anything on my Crossbones except for moving the mini-apes about 3" forward. Seat height is perfect.

I'M 6'3"+ with 35" inseam. I am looking for things to make my Fatboy tall guy friendly. Thanks.
I made everything out of parts and sheet metal that I had laying around the garage... however there are floorboard extenders and tank raising kits available commercially if you do not have the facility to make the items yourself... just "google".

I'm not a tall guy, but a 6'4" girl with 36 inseam I have a 2001 Fatboy with stock bars and floorboards and Corbin Gunfighter seat. I am currently considering the following to get more comfortable:
-extended brake pedal (2001's have it in the middle of the floorboard ugh)
-adding either highway crash bar or Kuryakyn Arm Mark IV
-adding a 2" riser and keeping stock bars
-getting a different seat?

Anybody could recommend either Kury or highway crash bar? The seat is my problem too... not sure if I should keep the gunfighter or what:/
