too big for a fat bob?
A friend of mine is 6'2 about 400 lbs and rides a dyna low rider.... It moves out pretty good. His is a 00 and my street bob is an 07... We keep up with each other.... He has mids with the crash bars/highway pegs... We rode to Lake Geneva last summer and he had his 200 lb (guesstimate maybe 180) girlfriend on the back. He totally blocked her out of the wind... lol

Perhaps a different point of view, but I'm 6'7" and around 190lbs. I used a 3"extension kit for the forwards and now it feels just right for me. You can get extensions off of ebay for about $150. You've chosen one hell of a bike, best in the dyna line IMHO.

I'm 6'3" 270 lbs, have +3 forwards on my 07 FXD and it is more comfy than a co-workers Road King and Electra Glide. When I bought it I had mids on it and it felt crampt, but after I installed the forwards, I can go all day comfortably.

So far, I'm the Tallest at 6'4, and just peaked at 245,
The Stock seat, my Mustang Solo, are just fine. I'm very comfortable.
You're majoir concern should be your seat. Wrong seat will push you forward. Or too far back.
Take your time researching the seat. But for right now your stock seat will suffice.
