1st post here, lurking for a while. Big ol' boy here @ 300# and 6'3. This stock seat is not making me feel warm or fuzzy. 2015 tri glide , and love it so far. Please offer some suggestions.

Welcome DC and greetings from Long Island.
I switched my '10 TG seat to a Diamond seat. Thick cushioning. I'm around your size. I also sit a little higher on it. Wife is tiny but likes back seat also.

Welcome from Kentucky! I'm a good sized lad, and thus far I've stuck with the stock seat. BUT(T)....I've not went on a trip of longer than about 60 miles one way either without getting off the bike. I'm planning a 130 each way trip in about a month. And that trip is going to be for a charity ride when I get there.

Altogether I'll be putting well over 300 miles on it in one day. I'll find out if my rear end can stand the stock seat for sure then.

I will say this: the stock seat on my TG is more comfortable than the aftermarket Mustang seats that I've put on other bikes, IMHO.

Thanks for the replies. I demo'd a RZ recently, but without the ability on my 15,(no acc. switch) I wasn't able to get a real feel of the seat with air.

The benefit of the air is adjustability on the fly. Changing the air changes the location of the pressure points. Makes a world of difference...for me!
