im not as tall as you but i weigh the same and ride a '09 cross bones with a fatboy lo seat, the spring seats just didnt work for me. ive rode the bike from ny to myrtle beach sc without any major problems (that doesent mean sore tho.) for the most part i am very happy with it but sometimes wish i had a roadking.


ps i think you can get a denim black fatboy in '09

Forward controls for you might need to be mounted on the forks!!!
If the license is preventing you from test driving, at least get to a dealer and sit on one to see how it "fits."
