Too tall!

4 posts in this topic

I am 6'3" tall and have trouble fitting my knees into the tank shape ( my knees are too far forward of the fitted area of the tank for comfort) other than the obvious of sitting further back on the seat, are handle bar risers available and can you change the seat height?- would this help ?

Another option might be some adjustable foot pegs, Fe5ta fitted some to his bike, have a trawl around the threads, iam sure there is info on them somewhere.

You can get an ABM top yoke conversion kit and fit some higher handlebars too, as Standish says, have a good read of the site and try the search function as there are plenty of threads about this sort of thing.

Hey mike i'm 6ft4 and it used to be an issue for me. Got some new leathers about 5 months ago which are easier to bend a leg, so to speak.Got used to it now after 2yrs owning her. Incidently,my bike had risers on the bars when i bought it and i took them off,it's better for me to have the bars lower,as i prefer to have weight on my wrists instead of lower back.Maybe you can get some custom rearsets made to lower the pegs,or stretch them back.;)
