    Any Harley with forwards, raised bars and the right seat would be fine. I have a 2015 Wide Glide with LePera Daddy Long Legs seat. I’m 188cm with room to spare. I avoid saddlemans only because they push me too far forward to stretch out

    I took the MSF course recently at my local Harley dealer. The bike I used was a base street 500 I think. I’m 6’4” and on the first riding day my hips cramped up terribly. I felt like a circus bear on a mini-bike.

    Hi, I am a big Swede, slightly above average, with my 6 foot 8, (202 cm) 108 kg and 36” inseam. I ride a Road king Police 2013 with a HD tallboy seat and floorboards from Pegboards floorboards in USA. Check them out! That made the bike transform from a bit cramped to supercomfortable. I also installed Heavy duty springs in the rear suspension. Long wheelbase gives you plenty of space and it is still easy to handle. I truly can recommend that concept. I suggest a roadking 2009 or later or a BMW R1200GSA 2010 or later. Both bikes are superb for riding with a pillion. BMW R 1200GSA 2010-2013 gives very much bike for the money. Good bike hunting!

    Harley has several options to accomodate taller riders. Several companies make the same items, at a lesser cost, that fit many different Harley models, like CC Rider and Drag Specialties seats, and Kuryakin has several other items for taller riders.

  • @jb.6196
    @jb.6196 Před 3 měsíci

    I have a Bonneville Bobber. Overall a rather "small" bike, but that is usually the design in the retro sector. Old motorcycles were minimalist, without many add-ons. If you like such retro / cruisers or cafe racers, then you have to accept one or two peculiarities. With handlebars, seat position and controls, however, you can adjust a lot so that taller people can also ride reasonably well.

    My suggestion is to keep your phone on you and charge a power bank. You might need to make a call if you part company with your bike. Heated grips are great, gloves are warmer in extreme conditions but grips are always on the bike and can be used at anytime.

    The Fat bob fit me the best of the models I tried out in 2019 (FatBob/StreetBob/LowRider/Slim/FXDR). I'm 6ft 4in, 220lbs. the stock seat shoves you into the tank, and the bars are too low and wide. It was ok for a while, but now I've added a Whiplash seat to set me back a couple inches, and a 14in riser/bar combo the bike is very comfortable. It's tough, manufacturers don't seem to make many bikes for tall people out of the box.
