Dyna setup for fat guy

I am in desperate need for some help.
I ride a 2010 Dyna Wide Glide. I bought it because I love the low chopper look. Although I almost bought the street bob. The problem is that I cant do any long distance riding. After 2 hours my *** is dead and my arms and legs hurt. I did not buy it for comfort but now I need some. I am planning to go to Reno in September from Oregon and I am dreading it. My bike is stock except for Kuryakyn switchblades with 2 1/4" extenders that are ok but I thought they would be more like floorboards. So my questions......
What is the best seat for a 6'2" 350 lb fat guy on a Dyna? Is there a wide seat for fat people?
Should I change out the shocks? I have the stockers set on 4 so its stiff.
Should I go with Apes to get my arms up to shoulder height? Where do I want my arms?
What is the must have comfort accessories?
Thanks y'all

first i would contact sick saddle and tell him you need a fat man seat

then id get better boards but at 6.2 you probably need forwards with heel rest , then you need to get your body used to riding long distances
heres my bike and im big fat guy ( ill post 2 bikes blurple one i can easily do 600 miles a day on , black have not gone over a few hundred a day on but thats just not having time )

The best thing you could do to relieve the strain on your arms and legs is to get a windshield. It is great riding around town in the breeze, but on the Interstate it is a 70 or 80 mph wind tunnel trying to blow you off the bike. Any number of seats people will recommend and they will most likely all be better than stock. I prefer the Mustang Wide Vintage Solo (in signature picture). It is 16 inches wide.

ride at 80 mph and after 2 hours you should need petrol , stretch your legs , rub your **** , windmill your arms and have a coffee , file the bike up and get on your way , job done ,
or get a repack on your seat , a pair of gel asred cycle shorts and a removable windshield , these will help a lot .
but if you ride longer distances more often , your *** muscles will toughen up and so will your arms n legs , its just not being used to long rides ,
