Road Glide Help for tall Guy

Hi All. I am new here and would like some advice. I am 6'5 and love the Road Glide, but stock its really uncomfortable. I have been reading on the forum and see that Accutronix forward controls may help my situation with comfort. Has anyone done this? I would love to see pictures of a Road Glide with the Accutronix controls.

Thanks for the input.

I am not familiar with that system. You may be happy with extended floorboards and having your seat adjusted to move you back.

6'5" 220lbs.
Here's what I did:
1. Corbin solo seat moved me back 2".
2. Bubba's Brake 1 1/2" extended floorboards.
3. Bubba's Brake extended shifter and brake pedal.
4. Soos' kit, extended floorboards OUT 3/4".
5. Indy Custom Bikes 1 1/2" extended FORWARD floorboard brackets.
6. Wild One #517 Chubby bars.

I'm VERY comfortable.
