Default looking for STREETGLIDE?
Well, here I am.....finally made it to HD FORUMS! I ride a metric for the time being and looking for a StreetGlide/ElectraGlide or other larger frame HD that will fit this large frame rider! Any suggestions, other than the usual - don't ride a rice burner or lose weight?

I'm 6-03 300 lbs+ and want to be comfortable ridin, instead of having to stop at most stop signs and get rid of the monkey butt syndrome. Some that I ride with have suggested a StreetGlide / RoadGlide model with after market seat and forward controls? Any takes on this subject?
