hey guys, just picked up a 2016 rmz450 and wanted to know the best set up for tall riders, such as myself. i am 6'5 and wondered what handlebars are the best for taller riders and maybe get some other advice on how to set up my bike to suite my height

6'6" here and I run the following on my 2005 CR250.

- RC High bar bend

- BRP Adjustable SUB Mount -adjusted forward

- Lowboy pegs - haven't had any issues with ruts or dragging pegs, but I'm in socal.

- Guts tall seat - mainly to create more area for my legs to grip while standing. Went with medium seat foam so I'm more "in the bike" when sitting.

Honestly whatever is most comfortable, I'm 6'1 but prefer stock seat height and the 977 renthals, I saw on another thread here that pointing your toes in a bit will help grip and it actually does
