You wear it well. That 48 will do good for you. As mentioned, DK has good seat kits. Mother Road too. Not sure how comfortable you'll find them as grbrown mentioned...
For tires, personally, I'd stick with modern treads to handle your varied wet conditions there. Those vintage tires, or alternative tread tires, look cool but I'm doubtful they perform as well or reliably as Michelins or the like...after all, the tires keep the rest of the bike off the road, and you with it. Rog runs some cool tires so maybe he can chime in, but the ones in the pic look too squared off to me to lean properly...
I'm 6'3" and 210. My XL1200T Super Low fits me fine. But my 03 883R was from a time that HD made big Sportsters. It is the tallest bike that I have. One sits high off of the ground with the older Sportsters.
Only picture of me on a bike. I'm standing in the tree with a road through it on my 10 Ultra Classic several years back on the PCH in Cali. Not standing at full height as you can see my legs are spread out.
Couple months ago I was coming back from central Cali to San Diego and just south of Bakersfiled I passed a guy on a cbr 250 and he was no joke at least 350 pounds.. He was literally pouring off that poor little bike in every direction.. It was unsafe.. You're good big guy..
We had a gy working with us that was very similar. He was around 300lbs & had an old 80s modal cb250 Honda. He looked a bear in the circus on a scooter riding it. We used a sundial got his 0-60 time.
