At 6'5", consider the off lease police bikes. Some have less than 2000 miles in two years. The police seat on my 2019 FLHTP is great for me at 6'7" with 36 inch inseam. The police seat is great for my bad knees and hips.
Setting it up for two person traveling is about $2000.
Other than that, you'll probably be looking at a TallBoy seat that raises you up about an inch and back 1-1.5 inches.

You may like the Police seat due to your height, but don't feel you need a police bike to get the police seat.
On a '14+ Touring bike, the corresponding year Police seat will bolt right up.
I purchased the Police seat & hardwre used off eBay, and got a Mustang seats passenger pillion that matches with the police seat, for my wife. It looks good, and is very comfortable.
There are only two downsides.
The first is that it makes it harder to get to the battery
The second is that as comfortable as the Police seat is, it doesn't compare to my Russell Day Long seat, which is still my go-to seat for multi-day trips. The Russell is a taller seat like the Police seat.
Full disclosure, I m 5'8" w/31" inseam. Both seats could be a challenge for someone with a shorter inseam than I have.
I hope some of this info helps..
Good luck with your search...!

I took the Road Glide out yesterday and it was a nice bike. Id have to change the seat and the windshield, was getting a bit too much air. Drove one with a 103 and one with a M8. I want the M8. I had read about the street glide and everything said you could not put the bigger bags on them. Dealer says otherwise. Oi
