The sportster has forward controls they were great. The Mus on this bike just seem to get in the way more than anything. In 6'4 also. I was thinking about keeping the mud pegs to have another for spot. Still debating.

I definitely understand forward controls at your height.

Nice ride. Just something to be aware of before you change out the exhaust that I found out recently when I went to do mine. As part of harley's settlement with the EPA last year they are required to deny warrenty coverage on anything affected by exhaust/tuning changes if the bike is found to have the cats removed.

I just kept my stock exhaust and if I have any problems I'll put it back on before I take it in

Like skelator said the epa really did a number on Harley. The dealer in college station ( independence harley) did the whole works from exhaust to big bore bikes with full dyno tuning. Mccyles is a sponsor and they do fantastic work from what ive seen or go to college station.
