THE ULTIMATE TALL RIDER THREAD! (6'4 and above)

6'5" 320 lbs here. Narrow hips, wide shoulders. 2010 Road King w/ tall boy seat, removed rear shifter, heritage style handlebars just very slightly pulled back from straight alignment to front fork. knees still above hips even when feet are on the highway pegs resulting in all my weight resting on my tailbone and almost none on glutes and thighs leading to a numb butt after a couple hours. Also quick to get minor cramps in hips on hot days due to outward torqe when seated. No iron butt here, wish Harley's were bigger...

Just installed the XL Banana Boards & Tall Boys floorboard relocators last night on my 2016 FKHXS along with Roland Sands Enzo 2 up seat... and like magic the bike fits. Huge difference! Boards fit in there like a glove almost like they were made to fit. Looks like I have some room so I ordered the Kuryakyn 4588 relocators to get another inch forward & inch out.
Measured everything up & ordered a Softbrake brake pedal +3 and shift lever +2.
Haven't ridden it yet. Waiting for the rain to stop.

Must have been a floorboard kind of weekend. i installed knockoff ebay Arlen Ness Deep Cut floorboards on my '13 RG custom. I had the Kuryakyn out+forward floorboard extension kit on my stock boards and figured out that the Ness boards do not fit with the Kuryakyn extensions. Bummer. I went from small boards that were forward and out to larger boards that are back and in. Not as much an improvement as I would have hoped. I will now be looking for different floorboard relocation brackets to move the boards out and possibly forward. When I mocked it up, it looked like the boards would have just barely fit with the HD vented lowers+Kuryakyn extensions I have so I was bummed to find the Kury kit front bracket does not fit with Ness Boards.
Pic for attention.

Banana Board XL, Tall Boys, & Kuryakyn 4588 Pics
Pics of the Cyclesmith Banana Boards XL, Tallboys Relocators, & Kuryaken 4588 floorboards relocators.
With the Roland Sands Enzo 2-up, which I've read is about back 3 down1, this bike is SUPER stretched out now. I actually the tips of the boards as highway pegs & rest my feet out there.
Matching up the front Kuryakyn 4588 and Tallboys is a little sketchy. I'm not totally happy with what I have going on now under there, but that will be some winter fab work. I have some ideas, just not the time right now. I'll add some pics of that in a day or two.
Softbrake +3 shifter showed up today as well as the front shifter +2.5 - these things look sick, can't wait to get them on the bike this Wednesday.

The Banana Boards XL line up with the highway bar much better with the Kuryakyn 4588 floorboard relocators... and that inch out really makes a big difference. I didn't think it would but really glad they are on there.
Looks like the Softbrake +3 rally throws that pedal out there. Can't wail to install. The stock OEM brake pedal is my SINGLE largest complaint in the bike.
