Seeking other rider inputs as to what mods worked or didn’t work for a tall rider to increase comfort, Thanks

Rolled the bars forward, and changed out the seat.

Started looking at seats per your suggestion, when u rolled bars forward did u then have to roll controls back or were they fine, thanks

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Yeah, you'll probably want to adjust the controls. The bars aren't nubbed though, so it's not that hard. Check your local home depot or another place for a cruz tools star wrench. Has most of the wrenches in one tool.

The seat is a Mustang Regal Duke. Works well for taller guys. They also have a daytripper that will put you back even further, but the Duke works good for me.

Thanks for the help Stretchman, good starting points, hopefully if I do make a change in seats I get it right the first time. I really like the style of the stocker so I may roll with that and see how it breaks in, waiting on Spring

Glad to help.

This is a pic with the rack and new pillion pad installed. The rack comes in real handy on my commute.

The more I ride it, the more comfortable it gets. Little tweaks mean all the difference. Give yourself some timne between changes, so as not to overdue it and then think that it won't work. It will, just give it time.

Maybe an adjustable rear set would be helpful when it comes to legroom. Has anyone installed an aftermarket set?

The HD Rear Sets/RSD rearsets only make the riding position more cramped. They certainly improve the riding position for cornering but do not make the bike more comfortable.

Another alternative would be taller rear shocks. I know Ohlins and Fox make a 14”+ shock. Another inch is a big change and it’s an opportunity to improve upon the stock emulsion shocks (despite what Harley touts as performance parts, they are junk).

Does anyone know if these lowered pegs are an option? The position of your feet is 1 inch lower than normal. Or will they touch the ground? I think it's a huge difference for your legs with these lowered pegs.
You can find them by searching for Knight-Design-Harley-Davidson in google.

Great find! This could be exactly what I need to make my rear sets more comfortable.
