Hi Guy's - Need advice just purchased a FB CVO - Require new Apes or high Handle Bars, plus does anyone have advice concerning Extended foot controls (I'm 6'2) ??

New bars can be hit and miss and if you don't fit them yourself can get expensive changing them again and again. I'm 6'3" and use 14" Burleigh Apes and with a Badlander seat my arms are basically horizontal to the bars. I find it perfect and can do long distance rides comfortably.

At 6'2" you will need extended forward controls but I'd suggest you ride the bike for a couple of weeks to make sure you need the extra stretch.

I'm 6'7 I have forwards with reasonably low bars but am switching them to mini apes.

I Don't think my forwads are extended but I like them as is because I have several positions I can put my feet at


I reckon the FB's look good with mini apes but have you considered a seat that puts you low and further back?

I'm 6' and I have an 09 CVO fatbob.
I put extended fwd controls on first chance I could.
I got some from Kuryakyn.
Still think I need a bit more, but then I'm looking at custom work.
I'm also in the process of putting street slammer bars on , these are are about the same rise and pullback as the original bars ,so I can still use the original cables.
I think the hydraulic clutch will work with these bars.

SEAT is an easy first option harley av heaps dat will change reach or go J&P cycles site in usa an u will av un told 2 look at longer reach reduced reach dis is best wAy stuff gettin seat altered by someone here will cost as much new seat been there dun that i buy from j&p all da time never a prob but if u c one in harley book of accessories or there online download ring SYS HARLEY best price of harley gear in oz i think

Hey champ
I'm 6'2 and CVO Face Book too
Haha rode around for couple of months thinking must have extended foot controls
Year's on stoked I didn't make the change
Note; Wish didn't murder so many pegs though....

I did go to single seat though... that I drew up and got done by Le Pera in LA
Def gave more room. No point tho in saying it or anything else is any more comfortable then the Alecantra CVO seat, lol
