My 2006 street glide
Just a couple of quick ?'s first i am a kinda tall guy 6'6" to be excat and have a little trouble sitting comfrotablly on my SG got a sundowner seat and it helps set me back a little bit. I think what i would like to do is maybe change hadle bars. i need them to be turned out just a little bit nothing major just so i have to strech for them a bit any suggestions. have not heard of to many people changing handle bars on the touring bikes. second the mirrors on the SG are not very user friendly and i heard of someone that had removed the mirriors and put tweeters in there place and put the mirrirs back on the bars any help thanx Butch

I am 6'3" and put on taller bars (about even with fairing). Removed the stock mirrors and installed a set of harley mirrors a had around. also installed the extend control boards. The bike now fits perfect.

Softbrake extended shifters. Love mine. Now I can get all of my size 12's in between. I never lift up on the front one. To shift up I push down on the heel shifter, to shift down I push down on the front one. Both are as close to the floorboards as they can be without touching when they are pushed down.

Wally, thats the only thing I dont have yet, I am only 6'3" and with the other stuff I am pretty comfy. Being 6'6" I bet it would help him for sure.

Im 6-2, One thing I did was put the rear pegs (I put floor boards on for the wife) on the highway bar at a lower level with a bit of an inward turn, I ride with my heel on the floor boards (I have the FB extensions too) & toes up on the pegs..it is REAL comfy. I have 12.5 Wild1 black chubby apes with black mirrors on the bars (I filled the mirror holes on the fairing with LOWES black plastic car plugs) & a mustang daytripper seat..i sit IN the bike now...I love it.
