I'm 6'0, 210 lbs (ok maybe more, dammit)

Just drove about 800 miles to Anaheim and back.

The seats themselves are comfortable, its the seating position that messes you up. I have an aftermarket steering wheel + QR + spacer to move the wheel closer to me, so it alleviates the problem somewhat

basically you can push the seat back and have comfortable leg positions, but the wheel will be too far

or you can scoot up and grip the wheel properly but your legs will be bent

Over long trips, either option will pose a problem. Either your knees will be sore from being at a bad angle, or your back from leaning forward.

My compromise is to use the seat base height adjustment. The seats allow you to raise/lower at two points, fforward portion and rear portion of the seat bottom. If raise the front a bit, lower the rear, and then tilt the upright back, you end up angling your whole seat back a bit. that seems to be the best

it also gives you the most headroom.

i really need a bigger spacer for my wheel
