    Am I too tall

    I am 6ft 5 inches tall with a 36 inch inseam. Is there anyone else my size riding an F6B? Is it comfortable for all day riding? I have sat on one and never ridden one, so I am unsure about comfort.All help appreciated.

    He can allways have a custom seat made would change his knee postion . I rode my buddies Stud Hoss years ago he was a big boy 6'7 and 370 lbs , he had that configured to his liking but ended up selling it after a few years and went to a full wing but had the seat built up .
    Highway pegs and I have seen a guy built a set of plat forms that went from the pegs up to the crash bars , they were like nerf bars on a jeep but had a deck up front .

    Yo Kornbread I am 6'5" and with the Kury mini boards I feel pretty good with stock seat and a Baggershield 19" windscreen.500 mile days are no problem.I will most likely get a new seat in the future but so far I love this ride at my size.

    Hi bro I'm 6'5" with a 36" inseam and 400#
    After installing a set of HeliBars, having a custom Russell DayLong saddle built(3" back 4" up) and popping on a T167T Slipstreamer shield my F6B fit me perfect and I can ride all day with no monkey butt or sore arms. I did add the kuryakyn ERGO lll so I could stretch out my legs when needed. Any ? just ask.
