For a multi use option, consider the LazyRider bag. Waterproof, access from either side, easy on, easy off as needed, great backrest with adjustable lumbar support !

I have the same exact problem. 6' 1" - 250lbs and I have tried everything....still trying actually. Here is what I have done so far to no avail and the one thing that does work, but is not practical. Illium foot rest to replace oem foot pegs....the are lower but also sit outward a little more a...

I did try that....problem is that I'm 58 and my nuts hang to my knee's. That would require a major adjustment each time I saddled up and you cannot always do so in public ...I'm trying to stretch my hip flexors twice daily and it's getting better.
Thanks for all of your input!
