Hi all... I'm a bit uncomfortable on my 400EX.
I'm only 6' tall, but still not feeling I am in my best body position for comfort and control of my 400EX.
I feel like maybe my pegs are too high and my bars are too low.
I have FAT pegs and Pro Taper taperwall bars.
Sitting down, I feel my knees are too high and my bars are too far forward... and when I get real agressive, breaking the rear end loose, swinging off the side of the seat, my hand guards and knees get pretty close.
I rolled the bars back a bit, really as far as I felt OK with for clearance for the above situation. It feels some better, but could be better.
Standing, the bars seem low. When I come up fully, knees still unlocked, I'm still crouching over a bit much it seems.
Now... I like the feel of the FAT pegs, but I think I want to go lower. The stock heel guards are gone and the nerfs don't have any. So I'm open to about any suggestions, all the way to getting a full-set Nerfs/Heels/Pegs. I want to know what my options are for going lower.
My bars I think are just the wrong bend for me. Too low and maybe too straight. But they are 1 1/8" diameter at the mounts... so the bars mount with a conversion riser that has a 7/8" adapter piece fitting down into the stock lower. So I am not sure I can help myself with any sort of riser.
These are very good bars in my opinion, and I hate NOT to use them. But I was thinking about trying an ATV, 400EX, or Universal ATV bend.... maybe TAG2 since my Cyrcas might be taperwall specific.... or something else. Fasst Flexx, Renthal, etc?
This feeling could be from a month on the Sport 400, but I know that's not all of it... my setup is off I'm afraid...
Open to suggestions/advice on bars and lower pegs.
