Mods for a tall rider

[monster_owl]

Hello world, what are some mods you would recommend for a tall rider? I'm 6'6"/199cm, around 270lbs/123kg. I plan on getting a rally seat, but not sure what else is out there.

Bigger foot pegs

At 6' 4'' i have uprated the rear spring

Lowered rear suspension links (20mm) easier to get my foot down, bar risers (20mm) less reach to the bars, tall screen. 

All the above can be tried and easily put back to standard.

...and eventually lowered pegs. Although I don't have them myself, I'd recommend Bosley pegs, they come in a huge variety of sizes and lowering options.

Flipping the bar mounts, rolling the bars forward and possibly some risers (that's what I currently use at 6'5").

I have the Bosley pegs that are 30mm lower and 20mm back.  They are great for riding position and very well made. 

 

The one caveat is that depending on your boots and riding position, it is difficult to lower the shifter enough. I have removed the nub on the back of the aluminum footpeg mount casting which helps a bit.  Now the lower ball end of the shift linkage is hitting the frame, limiting how low I can adjust it. For now I have a piece of fuel line over the part of the shift lever that contacts my boots, but I am going to cut and weld the lever this winter to make it fit like I want it to.

Damn, I'm more than 105 kgs, not sure if that would work for me.

At 110 kgs i find it works well.
