I should start with my height, I've been 6'9" for since I was about 17 . But my weight has varied big time. When I was riding a lot and in good shape I was 240. Injuries got me close to 300 when I was still trying to race . These days I'm about 320-330.
I have tried lowered pegs, but found that stock are better for me because I was drag my feet way more with the slightly lowered pegs. The tallest bend bar I found was the Carmichael bend , I ran the stacked adaptor style bar mounts for the extra height that adapt from 7/8 to the bigger sized bar, and tried +15mm and I think I settled on a +20 or 30MM bar mount on rubber mounted OE Honda clamps , I made my own tall seat that was about 3 inches taller and that made the single biggest improvement in comfort. And FC revalved suspension. I have not ridden consistently for a while now. I had to help my mom care for my Dad after a stroke until he passed and then help my Mom as her health declined. So I have not been able to risk any injury. Right now I have a current RMZ450 that just has tall bars and a +15 shifter. I got the bike as part of a trade and haven't ridden it yet.
Gear wise I have some current Thor Launchmode stuff that fits great. So much better than the Pulse stuff. I have a set of Moose stuff too. Moose fits me well in my regular day to day size the Thor I went up a size on the pants . Jerseys are both the same size I would normally wear a shirt. Both sets are long enough for my arms and legs , I used to have trouble with pant legs being too short. Helmet is just a XXL alpinestars SM8 , Tech 7 boots. Only gear related item that has been tricky to find is a chest protector . In my current inflated state there's not much that doesn't look like one of those JT half protectors form the 80's. IfI get back into riding more often I should slim down some and make that an easier issue to solve.
On the main subject of boots and shoes.
I was checking out some cowboy boots this morning and it looks like there are not many options for me. But I did find a place called 2 big feet that has some Ariat, Dan Post and Hoss boots that are available in my size. No fancy stuff in my size yet. Nothing like the others have posted on here . I don't wanna distract from the main subject of the thread with too much bigfoot talk. I'll look some more and see what's out there. With one of my feet fused, I don't know how it would be to slide on some of the boots I've seen. I have to open up my MX boots as far as they will open to get them on. And I have some tactical boots with zippers on the sides that make it much easier to get on and off than they would be.
