Im hoping they're noticeable, Im about 6' and have heard from a few people that they make just enough space to feel a bit more comfy!

They are definitely noticeable to me and I'm 5'10". Installed them on my 2019 YZ250F. Had to adjust20230313 190312, as it felt a bit different off jumps. It only took a few jumps to adapt. The difference was enough that I had to adjust sag slightly, so recheck that after installing them. I do think they make the rider triangle better, even at my average height. I also have a flatter seat foam (15mm higher only in the middle). These two changes were awesome and appear to be similar to the new 2024 bike.

Might look into that foam too! guts? 

Great looking bike

It is X-Fun foam from Italy, sold by Docwob on ebay. It isthe only foam that I could find that isn't a block, and flows with the lines of the bike on front and back of the seat. Thanks on the bike comment.

did you install the WC mounts + flo lowering pegs? Is that worth it or are the mounts the sweet spot?

Just the WC mounts. The flo pegs are standard height. It seems to be the sweet spot for my height.

Love mine, was a long time Yamaha guy, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19 YZ250F and switched to a Honda (17 and 23) briefly, my 2024 YZ250F by far my favorite bike of them all. Paid MSRP and had to go all the way from Cali to find one. IMG 6528
