    Have several bikes currently. A 2014 Triumph Rocket 3 Roadster and a 2005 Harley FatBoy. Want to add a long range cruiser to my stable.

    Here's my problem. Went to my local Honda dealer and sat on a F6B. Felt really cramped. I am only 6'0" but heavy like 275lbs. I don't want to buy a long distance cruiser that I am uncomfortable on obviously. What can be done to make things roomier? Thanks for listening.
    I went with Ultimate Kingrider seat and Ergo II Hwy pegs and mini floorboards.6 4 with 32" inseam 280 lbs.Some also went with RDL seat to fine tune butt placement and then helibars for arm and wrist alignment.Change windscreen after all other changes or join those of us with a collection.Search function is our friend.

    You can get a seat that puts you further back.
    You can get dropped floor boards from Kuryakyn: http://www.kuryakyn.com/products/430...rt-drop-mounts
    Roadsmith makes a brake and shifter relocation kit if you want more leg room: http://trikeshop.com/news/4192012/
    There are various handlebar riser kits as well as the Helibar kit which is the most versatile: http://wingstuff.com/products/35632-...ccessories-f6b
    There are multiple aftermarket windshields, some are further forward to give you some more room.

    There are options for seating, handlebars, foot pegs, etc., etc.
    But one thing I'm certain about is after your first ride, you'll change your name from "Old N Grumpy" to "Happy" !!

    Glad to see there is hope because I really like the bike. Besides, every bike I ever had I wound up spending 2-3 thousand on seats, pegs, lighting etc to get it "right" for me. Thank you guys for the great advice. I feel better now!
