6' 5" Tall Guy on a Street Glide any suggestions for comfort trip to the West Coast?

Hello, I am planning on taking a trip to the West Coast. I ride a 2014 Street Glide with the stock seat, footboards, shifter and brake pedal. I want to improve my time that I can spend on my bike in comfort but, I don't want to give up the clean sleek look. I recently road 400 miles one way and by the time I got there I was exhausted. My intention is to ride 400 to 500 miles a day headed out West but I want to be able to enjoy myself when I get to the destination. The biggest issue is knee pain, hip cramps, and shoulder pain. My plan is to change out the previously mentioned items. Please reply with any suggestions or questions.
I appreciate your time, Have a Blessed Day!

Hi. I ride with stock seat as well. I’ve 23000 miles on my bike since I bought it in May 2016. I have kuryakyn triple tree wind deflector, fork wind deflectors. Those help me a lot. Just few days ago I rode in cold, rain, snow for 700 miles to Death Valley. And I wasn’t even beat up. I’ve realized it’s the wind that beats one up. You have to control it efficiently. For shoulder pain consider better seat and handlebar replacement. Do u have any highway pegs. Those help a lot to stretch ur legs and helping relieve knee pain.

Mustang vintage wide tripper solo seat and highway pegs. I'm 6'-3" and that's all it took. I didn't want a big fat seat. moves you back about 1.5" and then pegs to straighten out your legs.

I don't know about you guys but my 17' Street Glide seat sucks ass. I only have 2900 miles and the area near my tail bone is pretty sore. I definitely would invest in a better seat or have the stock seat worked on.
