Fatboy is my suggestion. You could modify the hell out of them and the look amazing...I would look for a pre '06, tons of them for sale right now for reasonable prices and with a few mods can run all day with the 96B...

I am 6'1" and was 265 last year when I bought a Deluxe - love it, just avoid large bumps. Now I have dropped 20 lbs (I cut down to only 4 full meals a day) I am going straight ahead for any bumps, screw it, the bike is fun and beautiful.

I also have a RKC which allows more weight due to the shocks, but it is not as nimble to toss around corners as the Deluxe.

The Fat Boy and Heritage Softail Classic have the highest seat height in the Softail line.

Well, you already have a bagger so get something in the bar-hopper range, for me that's the custom. I'm 6'3" / 245(or more) and with 3" extensions and those heel stirups, I'm really comfortable. I feel you sit "in" the bike with an FX, the rest of them I seem to sit "on".
