3 things a tall Harley-Davidson Street Glide or Road Glide rider should have! 

Hey Tall. I’m 6’5 with a 36” inseam as well. You mentioned someone told you to flip that highway peg the other way to stretch out more. You was giving some good advice that you probably should take heed to. I have a beautiful 2020 Road Glide. Big rims loud pipes, loud music. I have my pegs going forward and I still get compliments wherever I go. You give us a lot of great tips and advice. I’m gonna say to you, that you’re to old to be worrying about something looking silly when its gonna serve the purpose of you being comfortable. There’s no trade off for comfort in my opinion. Nobody would really care what direction your pegs are. Anyways I’m a fan of your channel. Thanks for all that you do. Stay safe.

I’m 6’2” and yes taller bars are about comfort. Thanks for the seat information.

I'm a 6'2" long haul trucker and I have similar mods on my 29" cruiser bicycle.

I'm 6 ft and I absolutely had to have highway pegs because like you I'd cramp up and I used to drape my feet over the peg to get my knee straight.

I used to think Ape hangers were just for looks but improved my ability to make sharp u turns and manuevers on my Roadglide. My buddy has 14" inch spearhead apes on his street glide and it looks phenomenal. Perfect blend of stock/custom.

I’m 6’5 and shopping for a bike as new rider. This was great info video.

Another nice touch is floorboard extenders. I had some on my Road King that moved 1.5” out and 2” forward. They work on touring bikes without lower fairings. Ride safe!!

Man your bike is looking great!

On the opposite side of the spectrum Being 5'5" I first put on a HD reach seat that moves me forward 1&1/2 inch, lowers me 1 inch and is 1 inch narrower Threw on a set of BMC Vindikta hoope teeze bars that are only 31 inches wide compared to most that are 36-37 inches wide. and an extended brake pedal (the option of with lowers is the same length as stock but sits 20 degrees flatter) easier for my smaller size 8 feet to maneuver onto. I also put on highway pegs just to give me many more foot positions......I would love to see our bikes side by side,

I'm 6'2 and I also went with a Lapera DDL Maverick seat, 12 in bars, extended floorboards, extended shifters, extended brake lever, and highway pegs. I have ridden my SGS across the country 2X. Over 6K miles on each trip, comfort all day long. Thanks, great video.

Thanks for the advice. Im 6’8 with a 2020 Street Glide Special. I have the DLL kickflip seat already, im just waiting on my 12” bars from KST.

Thanks for the video, I am a 6'2'' rider on a Road King and your tips helped. In addition to the Daddy Long Legs seat, you might also try the kit to move the floor-boards forward one inch. If you do, then you will also need to add an extended brake pedal (Kuryakyn makes one), and possibly an extended shift lever. That one inch makes quite a difference.

Great video brother it works for you as for me I am only 5ft3 just like the little dude that follows you around the house I feel his pain short legs but I ride my street glide like I am an 6ft5 take care an god bless brother

I’m 6-02 with a 34 inch inseam. I have 2017 RG Spl and put KST 10” meat hooks on for bars, a 2018 CVO seat which moved me back off the tank about a inch. I also have floorboard relocation mounts which move the boards out and down about a half inch, and highway pegs. I’ve been riding for 29 years and after a lot of trial and error this is the most comfortable I have ever been on a bike. Thanks for all of the videos and your positive attitude. Be safe.

Great Videos, Tall. I'm 6' but long legged. These are the mods that made my ride perfect. Mustang seat FLHR/X/T/TR SUP TRVNTDBR (crazy part number) that pushed me back about 1.5 inches and up a little. Khrome Works 14" bars with 2" pull back, Legend Revo-A 13" shocks and HD highway pegs. Rode from southern Cal. to Sturgis and back in great comfort.

I’ve been looking for a bike all year I’m 6,6 this video has helped a ton ! Street glide is definitely what I’m getting!

nice! I am also 6'5". Its a short, fat, world for sure. Ive been riding for multiple decades almost exclusively on european bikes. The Adventure bikes easily come the closest to out of the box fit. A 2" riser under the bars (over stock), 1" lower on the pegs (most you can get, really) and a custom seat (rich's usually) and Im there. Spent a month this last summer roaming the southwest on and off road. Standing and sitting. The last day was 700 miles to get to home. I just picked up an old Electra Glide. I was really surprised how small it is. The gent I bought it from was considerably shorter than I and even had a "reacher" seat on it. I rode it home feeling like I was in "Elf". Because of the ergonomics of a cruiser, placing all your weight on your tailbone, the seat is probably the most vital part for any rider. My ride came with the stock seat as well, so I am at least off the reacher. But yeah, that stock wont survive a long run. Single density foam and pretty soft at that. Im going to work with the local shop to complete the Police air ride seat set up on it. That is probably the best solution for me. Im not sure about bars. I really dont care for apes or tall bars. I'll run it a while and see what I will do. Good to see someone talking about stuff for us fully grown adults. PS - whats up with those mirrors? that looks nice!

Scoot sure looks good Tall, followed your mods...nice job “making it yours”.

I'm also 6'5" and the only V-twin bagger made for anyone tall is the Victory Cross Country. I have a Tour and would never get rid of it...but I am having to. The parts issue is a thing. They are out there but people are charging 4-5 times what they are worth. Selling the bike as I type this and will be moving to a Road Glide. It would be great if Harley would make a bike for taller people...bigger boards, longer reach, longer tank, neck further away...etc.

Saturday I bought a 2020 SGS. It’s sitting in the service department awaiting the stage 4 kit. That night I came home and ordered TAB 4.5’s with Zombie baffles, Rockford Fosgate stage 3, and KST Bison bars. Once I get it home, I will go for a ride to Compton for a Saddleman get seat and get the Legend suspension ordered. Loud and comfortable 😎🤘🏼

Thanks for, you have your bike great. being 6'5 all, this will be my next bike (currently on fat bob in profile pic) and will follow a lot of these mods...Paul.

I have the Suzuki M109R and ever since I got my bike I made changes as well. I went jell seat early on and the last ting I did was to extend the handle bar with a riser. It's true that with every change you will have to relearn the bike again. My learning started with weight loss because as I got smaller I fit different on the bike. And the risers were added after a spine surgery and I sit in a more relaxed position as my bike is a sport cruiser and there is a slight lean forward to the bike when you first buy them. So this bike is totally fitted or my body. and yes I have highway pegs as well.

Are you ever planning on changing the screen? I went and did a test ride yesterday on a Street Glide, and the the buffeting I got was insane with that factory shield. Eyeballs were rattling around in my head LOL I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. As a 6'6 rider, it's nice to get input from someone who is actually....tall

Thanks for sharing it took a fews days before you’re slow speed maneuvers improved. Exactly what I wanted to know.

Tall, thank you for the great information, I'm on a road glide 2019, I'm 6'6" both my son's ride and they are 6'8" and 6'7". We laugh all the time about trying to get anything to fit us tall people. Your ride is clean, I can see the pride. Have you anything on custom seats, that will move us back 2" at least ? I rang the bell, and subscribed. Your video was great, keep doing your thing. My nickname is Too Tall, all my life from twelve years old. Now my son's call me Too short, no respect. Hahaha. Take care of yourself, peace.

Hey Tall, I'm 6'5" as well. I changed out my shock to 13" Pro-Action shocks and it has been a game changer for me. I feel so much better in turns and slow speed maneuvers. I have a 16 RGU 14" KST's with adjustable highway peg.

I'm 6'5" as well. I'm about to pick up a Road Glide. Thanks for the tips.

I am 6 foot 1 I totally understand what you are saying, Great video thx for sharing.

I like the bars you chose. They look quality and classy....so many app hangers look very 80’s rock band

I’m 6-4 with long legs. On my 2012 RG i have 14 inch Vindkta apes. Harley Tall boy seat ( switching to Le Pera daddy long legs) and i had my foot floor boards moved all the way forward, along with kuryakyn Highway pegs. Very comfortable.

Dude must say this help me out im 6.6 an getting my bike next month so well be on the look out for these items

Hey Tall , I had to modify my bike for my height. I have a tall boy seat that sits me farther back and lower which helps with legs and center of balance. Then I bought a set of Kuryakan floorboard extenders that move them one inch forward and one inch out ( you have to make sure you get the right ones because there are a lot that only go forward but not both, you need both) . Then I ordered an extended reach rear brake pedal from Kuryakan also, it helps with foot room. Now I can either use the floorboards, or I can put my heel on the front of the floorboard and my toe on the highway peg, or lay my leg over the highway peg. It just gives you options while riding. I am going to get the taller bars, but I also have a backrest and the combination makes a big difference on long trips.

Great video. Hey look, the Shrine. Cool seeing it in different places.

i saw your video when you put on the 21 and the matching 18. what a difference. very nice.

Thanks for the help . 👍🏿

Thanks for sharing 🙏

Love the Bike...I'm 6'6" and looking at Bikes now to try to figure out what to buy..I'm about 30 miles from Knoxville..I really like this Channel..I think it's going to help me a lot..

God i need to ride

Every angle looks fantastic. You really have that set up just for you Tall. Nice job. Next up, Olin inverted forks. Ride safe and ride often. Peace.

Hey Tall, I'm in Cookeville. I'm 6'4" and really have enjoyed your tips for tall riders. 17 Street Glide CVO 114

4:28 Awesome! I'm with Ben Hur in Austin TX

That's the bike I saw you with at Moonshine today. Nice to meet you brother.

I'm about to pick up my first ever HD SG 2014. This vid certainly makes me more aware so thanks for that. I appreciate it. Being 6"4 and a bit myself, I guess I'll find out! Cheers!

Tall, I agree with all of your suggested upgrades and couldn’t agree more. Curious if you’ve thought about a taller windshield for yourself? Thanks for sharing. 👍🏽👊🏽

awesome! im 6'3 and new to the street glide.

Instead of the angled highway peg mounts you should try the harley engine guard mount kit- part no:54234-10a They are straight and will give you that extra couple inches Far better option than the angled ones also look cleaner

I highly recommend these hwy pegs, I’m 6’4” and don’t have them all the way forward. XKH Group Motorcycle Chrome 360 Degree Adjustable Highway Peg Mounting Kit For any Bike Equipped with 1-1/4 inch (1.25") Front Engine Guard Frame Tube Sportster 883 1200 Street Bob Softail CVO. On amazon and less than $50. 😉👍🏻

great info for us taller guys as usual. Keep up the good work. You made my street glide soooo much more comfortable for me by following these suggestions!

Always enjoy watching road safe and enjoy ride safe and enjoy

Bars and seat are always the first mods you have to do to pretty much any Harley, their stock bars and seats are just awful in my opinion. When I had my stock bars and seat I could only ride about 50mi without having to pull over and stretch it when I put the seat, bars and forward controls on my Street Bob I can easily ride until the tank goes empty. I’m currently looking to get into either a Street Glide or Road Glide and after demoing both bikes I know the seat and bars MUST go. Also I think I’d extend the brake out about 1.5-2” as well as the shifter. I’m 6’2” so I have some of the same issues as you at 6’5” but I couldn’t imagine riding the stock Street Glide being as tall as you are. Love the bike brother, and I can wait until you get that engine back into the bike, I’m excited to see it and I’m excited to see how hyped you are when you first ride the new modded engine! Stay safe! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

Hey I saw you pulled into a Shriners parking lot. I'm a Shriner here in Massachusetts. Great video. I'm 6'4" and just bought a 2021 Street Glide Special FLHXS and will be looking into these Thanks.

The stock seat leaves a lot to be desired so I put a Corbin solo tour seat on and have the KST 12 inch bars rolled back also , and have my highway pegs as low as possible so our setup is close to the same but I am only 6 foot tall and am very comfortable , and I use a 8 inch LRS shield , 2019 CVO Street Glide with the stock 117 engine it’s a great ride

Have you ever thought of going with a custom stretched bike? I had a 2021 RG with the 124 and it has the 21" fat tire on the front and the front is licked out a bit with triple trees. A 21 inch fat tire is the same as a 23 inch skinny wheel set in diameter. 23" if same as a 26" so you have to kick the frame out with rake and new triple trees. Anyhow my RG is stretched a bit and has stretched bags. It just overall makes the bike look like more of a fit. And man fat tire bikes ride better than anything I have had in the past. My 2010 RG has the 30 inch big wheel. That is REALLY stretched. I think it is about 2 feet longer than a stock Harley.

Good video. I for awhile have had a Vic Vision. 6ft 5in 36 inseam, her is so Comfy, a plethora of foot positions .I ain't no way saying better, just good for me. Same for M109 with fairing and bags, most men I know with a Bully also rock Vics all are 6+. Why buy small shoes. I feel funny on HD. I'm 2 wheel motor type brand is irrelevant to me.

6"5 340 I'm listening.

Another great video Tall. I'm only 6'2" but seats and handlebars is definitely on my list. Just got my SGST recently and need to make some adjustments to fit me.

Thanks for the video my brother, very helpful.

Awesome looking bike Tall. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Tall! Enjoy your videos. I'm getting closer to making a business deal in Sparta. If I get this deal to go through and I get an opportunity to come up there, I would like to meet up and go for a ride. I have never been up that way and I'm looking for any excuse to travel up that way. God Bless!

Commenting for the algorithm. Love the content!

Just ordered floor board 2" extensions and elongated foot brake and shifter. I'm right the same size as you. Still need the seat

You gotta get the ergonomics right if you want to be comfortable riding. I'm 6'5" so I have to modify every bike I've ever owned to fit me.

Great vid as always mate. Thank you 👍💥

Cool channel brother. God bless you!

Your video is great, thanks for all that wonderful info!

cool

As always, great video! Hope you're running a good synthetic oil in those cold outside temperatures

Thx TALL I just caught ur 3 thing for tall riders i needed to know what seat u use thx

I wish there was a kit to lower the floorboards.

I just got a harley electra glide. Compared to my Indian the bike feels really small. So I might sell it on and go back to an Indian

not as big as you are TALL, but I am 6'5" and 400 LBS. the problem I have is. I got a good deal on a 1995 ultra classic. and after doing some research I have found out my options aren't as much as I would like. And I am sitting on 1/4 of the passenger's seat. and I still feel cramped at times.

I know that you already stated that you didn't want the bars to come above the fairing, but aesthetics aside, do you think that higher bars (maybe 12 to 16 inches) would be even more comfortable? Godspeed

It was surprising to me how much a seat raise (example 2") can affect a rider's perception of their center of gravity and their handling of a given bike.

Thank you for your info . I'm 6'4" 285. I've never owned a bike but have ridden dirt bikes in the past . I really want to by a Harley Davidson. Yet I am new to bikes. Since the video was taped is there any new information for first time rider like myself. Many RU-vid channels discourage new bikers from buying large heavy bikes. I truly want to avoid small bikes. What would you recommend. Thank you for any helpful information. Big Mex

I’m really considering that seat. I want something that looks great, pushes me back and is good for long trips. Is there another seat you would recommend for this?

Hey brother first I wanted to thank you for doing these videos, keep them coming . Do you know if lowering the rear 2inchs would mess up the riding geometry?

Cómo estás carnal Valla con dios

Wondering what windshield you at running I am 6’4 and got a 6 inch now and it’s hitting me in face. Great looking bike and great info

Hello, what kind of rear view mirrors do you have.. I just installed some 10 in kickers on my 2005 electra glide and want to mount my mirrors like you have on your street glide. Thanks and God bless

Had to resubscribe, utube dropped me from your channel for some reason.

you won't believe it, but highway pads are banned in Germany. You pay a 150 fine and are not allowed to drive any further.

I have no idea how you rode on a stock seat that far, my legs go numb after an hour

Put mid controls on it.

I'm 6f7

Hey Tall just bought. RGS 6’4 in height. Do you still suggest Lepera daddy long leg seat?

Looking to buy a good seat, any advice on different brands to consider; as I see, they aren’t cheap?

Hey Tall I'm in the same boat.....🤔 6'4 . I just sold my RG and am looking at a SG how do you find the wind buffeting on the SG ?

What your recommendation for Road Glide? I to am 6’5” and I really don’t like the stock bars. So I was thinking on the factory 47 bars in a size 14. But I know I well need to change the seat. Should the swat be first or second?

I have a 2017 Road Glide Ultra. Have issues with serious buffeting at highway speeds. Have you ever had to deal with this and how did you solve it?

Hey im looking to get into biking and am looking at a road glide or street glide any other recommendations for a tall rider 6'5" and pretty sure we live in the same state if that was the mass pike i-90

Just bought a 2018 road glide yesterday, the foot boards are aftermarket and seem really high, do they make foot boards for short people? Maybe it was a short rider before me. Do they make lower foot boards ? I know they make forward controls.

Hi guys what would be the best beginner bike for a 6'7 36 inseam (250 lbs) ?

How much did the 124 kit cost you all together labor and parts?

what size front wheel are you rocking???

Tall - Can you call the Harley store?

Where did you get the drop down brackets?

I don't know how anyone can ride with the factory tank scraper bars they are ridiculous

we need taller motorcycles

The first mod is get a road glide. Lol

Really... I'm 5.8 I can't even reach my highway pegs... 12 in apes... made my own seat that actually drops me down about 4.5"... only 150 miles and squirming smh... I truly belive harley baggers are made for people 6'and taller... even with my lowering link the ground is so far away
