What's the best Harley for a Big Man?

[David C]

I'm in my late 40's and have only been riding for a few years. I have an 83 Honda V45 Magna 750 that is woefully small for me and I want to upgrade to a Harley. I am 6'2", 270 lbs with long legs. Which Harley's have the longest frames? What do the letters after the mode mean, FLTR, FLHR etc? Hope you pros can give me some guidance.

Go to the Harley shop and sit on them. Find one to fit.

Flh Is A Touring Model, Roadking And Electra Glides Like The Ultra Classic. Flh Has Rear Visable Shocks,fls Like Fatboys Have Hidden Shocks Under The Frame Making Them Look Like Hardtails. I Am 6'4" 260lbs.,and Ride A Flhtcui,flh Frame,t-touring,cu-ultra Classic,i-fuel Injected. I Am Getting Rid Of It To Get A Roadking So I Can Put Higher Handle Bars On To Get My Hands Away From My Legs. Cant Do It To Mine Due To Front Fairing On Electra Glides. Roadking Is The Way To Go Unless You Need A Radio For Whatever Reason.
