Suggestions for a tall rider

Klim has pants in tall - I have 2 pair one in the boot, the other is over the boot/dualsport pant. Realize not typical moto pant, but these are built tough AF. And most importantly I could get them in a tall.

I've been looking for a bigger diameter grip and cant seem to find one.

Check out TLD. They have gears for tall riders.

I feel ya on this.. I'm 6'8" also and about 300lb.. I have the opposite in pants... 38 to 40 waist and 34 to 36 inseam.. I was goona ask you what you do for boots.. I have 15 and thank god not any bigger cause I think there is only 1 type in a 16..

What's that sponsor that Keefer has on his podcast? Is a Bowers sponsor too... Is it Rutted Racing?

Keefer mentioned that they do or are going to do gear for tall and large lads. Might be a look out.

Otherwise, TLD has some big gear and in general i'd say their sizing is true, whereas Thor/Fox/Shift are small. I'm a 36 pant, 38 in their gear. 36 in TLD.

Moose?

I had wrist surgery and have about 60% grip strength and found the Tag Rebound grip to work well. It's a little fatter and won't let your hand go. It is a discontinued model but I think you can still find it if you search.

^^ not me but may help you decide, also they make these in a LoProfile. I've never used them so I can't say good or bad. Hope you read this and it helps.

yah sit down. . shut up.. and pin it!!! lol... j/k... I really dont know an answer to that one.. I've spent so much time on the other end of the spectrum I've not seen much on shorter riders... My wife is 4'11" and I put a set of flat bars on her 125... adjusted brake and shifter and she has no issue but that bike is small too compared to todays 250 and 450s

Any taller riders have info on ways to drop the foot pegs by an inch or two? I’m 6 5” with boots on and would like to grab the bike more with my legs. Thanks for any knowledge.

Fastway pegs but I cannot remember how far of a drop it is.. I think 1/2 inch down and 1/2 inch back...I'm 6'8" and use them on all my bikes.. Followed by longer shifter and brake lever.

I’m 6’5 200lbs with a 36” inseam. I run fly, Fox, TLD, O’Neal without issues. 34 waist and xl Jersey. I don’t care too much on the lengthnof the pants since my boots cover them anyway.
