Im 6'11" and am trying to find a more comfortable seat for my wife and I. That moves me back quite a bit for my 2012 wide glide any ideas email jarrodnjamie@yahoo k

 

Dang good luck tall buddy! People seem to be happy with c&c touring seat... Then again I haven't met a man as tall as you riding a softy. I seem so short being only 6'4"! I am a girl though ;-) what are you doing with your legs?!

 

I'm 6'4" and do well on my Crossbones, but I've seriously thought about going with extended forward controls. I think if I were 6'11", I'd take off the seat and sit on the passenger pillion on the rear fender!

 

I actually do that often. I'm 6'4", a lil more with boot heels. However, me & an orangutan swapped arms at birth. There's alot of stretches of road where I'll slide back to the pass seat for a bit. I can run the bike fine from back there. I've collected all the Tallboy parts I need, just waiting to take it apart this winter.

 

My fiend is 6"9 he rides an ultra classic he took off the lower farings added the forward controls, slide the tour pack back n had a guy here in Sanford FL redo his seat so he can sit further back , him n his wife r both happy

 

Out of curiosity - what bars are you running?

 

I'm 6'2" 225lb with a 34" inseam. I have beach bars on my bike and really like them so I'm going to send my seat off to Mean City and have them rework it for my size. I hear they do a good job and probably the first place to start.

 

Purely for economic reasons, I swapped a few out. I did what I could w/o changing cables. I came back to the stockers w/ a set of 4"up x 2" back risers. I was resisting apes until I rode a bike with them. I'm doing 1 1/2 dia 16"s .... maybe 18"s this winter.

 

I'm 6'6" with a 36 inseam.
May life is in a small world.

At 6'1", I feel short reading all of these posts.
