If you go with a SB then you need forwards, with WG you need taller bars (my wife has one).
I have added a Corbin touring saddle with back rest. Much more comfy, and longer pegs too. Drag Specialties makes mine. A DK air cleaner helped with the knee clearance issue also.
+1 with taller bars on a wide glide after 50-100 miles I notice I'm slouched over and my back starts hurting. I'm 5'10 and the wg forwards are perfect just a slight bend in my legs very comfortable.

I'm 6'1" @ 300. Forward controls on a Fat Bob. I am more than comfortable. Whether hauling *** or cruising around. The only thing that gets me is the factory seat doesn't have the greatest back support so if I do a lot of hard launches it kinda presses into my tailbone. And I'll have to stop every couple hours(mainly when I get gas) just to get off and walk around because my butt gets numb just from the seat flattening.

I'm Shrek without the green skin and my Dyna is setup with mid controls. I have highway pegs where the forward controls would go, but I've only used them once when I kept getting charlie horses from a new medication and had to stretch out my left leg. I use a Mustang Vintage solo seat which sits rather high and I can ride all day in comfort.

6' 7" 220lbs here. I have a 2006 Street Bob with a Mustang Regal Duke seat, 14" bars and forward controls and it's very comfortable for me.

I'm 6ft but only 180ish and don't have any comfort issues riding a dyna. But I knew a guy that was a little taller than 6ft and was like 300 lbs and he rode a sportster, so I think you will be fine on a dyna.

I'm 5'6 275#, mids became uncomfortable after awhile so I switched out for some Wyatt floorboards and forward controls. I ride a 13 SG.
