I have a Mustang seat with driver backrest. I really like it. I have the custom tank dash so I had to get the RoadKing seat for my RoadGlide. It is a very good seat for long mileage days. I thought that it moved me forward on the bike a little compared to the regular Mustang seat I had on at first. I would recommend this seat to you for comfort and if your legs need more room maybe you could get longhorn extenders for the highwaypegs. If the issue is the angle of your legs on the floorboards, you might try Corbin seats as they will custom measure you for your seat. I have heard they can push the seat pan back for the folks with longer legs.

I'm 6'4" also, and I purchased the sundowner seat. It's great. The dealer let me try out several, and I liked the sundowner best. My girlfriend likes it the best also. For the driver it kinda lets you sink into the bike a little more, and helps support your lower back.

The Corbin Dual touring Seat is made in two versions, the normal which makes you sit back further and a close reach version which slides you forward I think 1.5 inchs. I have the standard, but had to change out the bars and lower the rear. I'm only 5'11"

I bought the HD Tall Man seat and it made a big difference for me, I'm 6'3". I did al little work on it and now it's even better. I had pro pad but gel under the cover, for the rider and passenger as we do a lot of long rides, I also had them trim the foam down about 3/4 of an in. what a great ride.

I am 6'2" , 300+ and I bought the corbin dual tour. Moved me back and has an awesome feel, especially the longer you ride. Check ebay for a great deal, I bought mine there brand new.
