First, I'm 6'5" 400 lbs 36" inseam and some of what I've done to my 2013 F6B deluxe to fit me is......
HeliBars to get the height, pull back and wrist angles comfortable, https://www.helibars.com/product/honda-goldwing-gl1800f6b-luxury-sport-touring-horizon-bars
with shiny black Kuryakyn ISO-grips, http://www.kuryakyn.com/products/33/iso-grips
Next a ride in, fit-up of a custom made Russell Day Long saddle, 3" up and 4" back, https://www.day-long.com/
To which I added some Ergo lll pegs http://www.kuryakyn.com/products/4339/ergo-iii-cruise-mounts
And last but not lest topped off with a Slipstream T-167-T 33" wind screen (7" over a stock GL1800). http://www.ebay.com/itm/Slipstreamer-T-167-T-Replacement-Windshield-Windscreen-GL18-00-Honda-Goldwing-/370618546009
I'm quite comfortable now and 500 mile days are like a ride around the block. :301:

Other than my mom at 5'10" there is no one in my family under 6' and that includes my two daughters at 6" and 6'1" :biggthumpup:

I really like the chrome highlights on my gloss black.
I figured if I'm taking the chrome strips off the cam covers, I wanted chrome back on, not black or anodized silver.

When I see people bitching about the extra cost of the chrome, and they really want chrome, in the big picture, what's another $80?

I am 6'4 275lb and the only mod I have done is the Mustang seat to push me back 1" and added beads to my seat and I have no complaints. Only get 225 miles before a fill up so on long rides that's about 2.5 to 3 hrs to stretch out and I am good.

I'm 6'4", 350, 32 in seam and the reason i got the F6B ( besides the the fact that it is AWESOME ) is because it was comfortable, more or less , as is. However i have made a custom flared screen extension and hiway pegs. The screen just cuts out the wind noise and the pegs allow me to stretch my legs occasionally. I don't like riding with my feet forward like i did on my V Star 1300, as i was getting a bad back from the jolting through my spine. doesn't happen at all on the 6. I do miss the feel of floor boards, however i don't want to compromise ground clearance at all, i scrape the pegs all the time as it is, without going any lower.

I've been on a diet Steve and have come down to 375 over the last year.Looking to be at 280 or so in another year.I too wonder how my Mom feed us as my brother is 6"4" and 290,my sister is 6'1" and around 210.Heck at my wedding many years ago the groomsmen were all my brother and cousins and he made the comment to the crowd that we looked like the front line for the 49ers!My size did get me a full ride to college as I was a All American defensive lineman many,many moons ago.If we ever meet up I'll buy:icon_lol:

6', 32 inch inseam. For comfort, I added the Mustang seat, Kury mini boards and Ergo II highway pegs with mini arms. For wind control, I have F4 Customs 18" tinted, vented windshield and Baker hand wings. And yes, the mini boards will scrape on occassion but ridden hard enough, so will the stock pegs.

6'1, 245.... 32" inseam here.

First was a Baggershield 11 to 19" windshield.

Next was Kuryakyn Ergo III hiway pegs.

Then the MBL innovations wide risers and Shinhopples foam grip covers.

Still running the stock seat and it is doing fine for now.
