New builder and I have a few ???'s

My step dad recently let me ride his Harley and once I did I was hooked! I grew up riding dirt bikes and atv's but, once I was on the back of that HD it was just a different feeling...

With that said I'm hooked enough that I want to build a bike. I've always been the kind that doesn’t want what everyone else has and I'd like to be able to say I built it myself.. so I've been looking at some of the kits that Big Bear has and I really dig the Venom Pro Street.

With that in mind here is my dilemma.. I am a pretty big guy about 6'6" and around 300 pounds. When I rode the dyna glide I felt cramped.. I have long arms and i felt cramped and need to stretch out a bit... What do you guys recommend as far as rake... backbone stretch and down tube stretch to make a more comfortable ride for someone my size? If you know of any kits or rolling chassis that are designed for the bigger buy I'd be interested in that too.

The Venom frame does seem a alittle small for a man of you stature. One thing you can do is put extension and the forward controls. Then run straight drag style bars for that extra reach. But what I would do is Call BBC, I'm sure they've had tall customers before, here what they have to say.
