You are probably at the upper limit for height on a bonnie.The problem is the mid position pegs.Your thighs will be angled up toward the bars instead of level or downward. Rear sets will help ,or forward controls (like on an America or Speedmaster).I sat on a Sportster recently and with the lower seat the thigh position was barely tolerable.(I would still like to ride one!)
I am about 6'2" but have a shorter inseam and the bonnie with mid controls is comfortable.I hang my legs on the passenger pegs on long trips to change things up.I recently spent a day on a Thrux with rear sets and that was nice and comfy too.Andy
