Us soggy bottom Florida Valk boys ride with someone that is that tall.  We know he is intrigued.

Will post on 1500 Tec as well

I think our fearless leader of the SoCal Chapter is taller than that. I believe he just has the peg lowering kit, King Big Boy, hiway pegs. He seems to do just fine. He has had both knees replaced, but I don't think it's because of riding.

I'm just a short lil' guy at only 6'7" (Or 5'19" as I usually say) but with a Hartco custom seat that's made tall and a peg lowering kit, I ride my Valk very comfortably...

Well, I believe he would be interested to actually have one stretched like he did on his Harley.  He sat on mine today and I think I agree with him and it would be awesome to see one done.

A friend of mine in Michigan is 6' 10", been riding a Valk for quite a while. Not sure what he's done to it to accommodate his size but stretching it wasn't one of them. Used to frequent the board as KW....for Kilted Warrior.

The frame is set up different then the Harley and would be one big deal for sure.
