I'm smaller (shorter, less weight) than you...had the Low Boy and eventually ended up with a Big Boy.....just more comfortable for me....yours and others opinions may vary.....

If you are going to InZane, and Ultimate is there again like last year, he will let you try both seats.

Go with the big boy. I'm your same size and the low rider sits a lot closer and my legs were cramped.

I am taller than you, 6'1" and just bought a Ultimate King on Saturday. I think that the Big Boy will fit you. It pushed me to far forward. If it doesn't fit you, Des will exchange it. Great people to work with. I was close enough that I could ride in and get fitted. Give them a call in Ormond Beach

These days I'm down to about 170, and almost 5,11 if I ever stand up straight. About a 32 inseam.
I could not do the LowRider, as mentioned by others it cramped me up and I could not get comfortable no matter the highway peg adjustment.
The Big Boy was the ticket for me and my standard and interstate. Go with the backrest with rear pouch as well.
Side note; seats are very much a rider preference, to each their own. Best bet is to take one for a spin if at all possible, second best, order one up and check it out yourself. I couldn't return my LowRider as I ordered custom embroidery. Took a loss and sold it in the classifieds.
Good luck!

I am 6' 0" with a 33"-34" inseam. Though I weigh less than you, I was advised by Ultimate to go with the Big Boy because of the inseam length. I'm glad I did. If the seat sat any lower (like the Lowboy does), I'd really have cramped legs. I normally stretch out to the Iso pegs whenever possible, as it is.
The only thing I might change about it would be to make the "nose" on the Big Boy slightly narrower.
