Tall RC bars... Very tall, not much sweep, opened up the space up front.
Fastway lowboy pegs are good, low profile, down and back about 10 or 15mm I think...
I ran a really tall seat on my last Kato, won't do that this time... Maybe a slightly taller one but I felt it made my cornering a little funky.
The positioning just feels more natural to me. I have better control, it helps my form when I'm standing and I don't suffer from a painful back after riding like I often do with stock bars.
I'm 6' and like the Pro Taper Windham bend. Black for aesthetic purposes.
Pit Row
I'm 6'2" and keep meaning to try a set of RC highs or something but haven't yet. Not much motivation to ride lately with back problems.
Tall guys have no place in this sport. Go play basketball.
Of course, I ride/race desert hare and hounds and hare scrambles, so I'm standing up for hours on end, and the higher bars and forward bar position in the clamps really makes that easier on the lower back.
I did notice a DRASTIC change in feel in the corners...it felt like it took way more effort to get the bike to lean...but I quickly got used to that and now I don't even notice it.
Having said that, I just purchased a GPR V4 stabilizer, it's an under the bar mount, and is supposed to only raise the bars 3/4inch...so I'm going to see how I like that.
I'm 6 foot, size 10 boot, and a large helmet...two out of three....can I stay in the sport?
Hey FGR01, Fuk pro wins, tall people get paid more than short people do. How many pro wins do you have BTW?
He beat the entire world except for Cairoli.
You mad.
FGR:
Travis Pastrana. 2000 125 National Champion. He's easily over 6 feet tall.
