I am 6ft 1" & riding a 2003 fatboy & 2004 SEEG with no problems, I have decided to part ex both bikes & have just ordered a flstse2 (uk) and have been told I can't chose the colour as there are only going to be 15 coming to the Uk.
More worryingly i have just had a go on my mates 2010 fatboy-lo and felt really cramped up as the seat was more forward than mine. I have also read the new flstse is even lower and designed for smaller riders!!
Help!!!! anyone over 6ft having any problems?

I am 6'2" and don't feel cramped on my '10. With that said, they do not have as much room as the Dyna line with forward controls.

Get a test on a 2010, Norwich HD have one that the DP uses. I placed an order on Aug 3rd for a Scarlet, they say they are only 99% sure I will get the colour. However they said last year that each dealer would only get 3 CVO's total, Norwich got 4 CVO Street Glides alone. A mate bought a spiced rum and they seem to be everywhere here.

Cheers,

I'm just a smidgeon over 6' with an artificial left knee that doesn't bend so well. It was a big concern for me as far as the shifter position was concerned. I had more room on the 10 FLSTSE than I did on my 07 FLHTCU in this area. Sitting lower does take some getting used to as to the arse muscles. Some mustache bars n highway pegs definately helped to relieve strain on legs going down the highway. I went with kuryakin true mustache bars as I didn't like the idea of full engine guards messing up that boulevard cruiser look. Finally, I'm ordering a Floorboard extension kit from JP Cycles in a couple days. ( 541-026 ). I had these on my Ultra. Moves the floorboards out 1" and forward 3/4" for a much wider leg position. And they're not bulky. You wouldn't even know that they're there except for the space between the inside of the Floorboards and the Primary. Good luck on the color!

Thanks for the replies, I will have to go and sit on a 2010 I suppose, have you a picture of the kuryakin true mustache bars fitted on your FLSTSE ?

I'll try and get the camera out and post pic of mustache bars.
