Ya u will definantly want a taller stem.. I'm 6'11" and I have a 2 3/4 stem custom made
for me.. Love it.. Alot of brands make good stems just shop around.. U can find used stems that are real nice at pretty good prices

im right at 6'1" and I run a burgard +2 stem with pro taper atv high bend bars and I love it...

so you should probably go with a 2-3 inch taller stem

i just got a gibson anti vibe +1 stem for 190 on ebay.

hopefully itll be better then nothing. maybe ill look into the high bend bars as well. i have pro tapers on it now. but they are pretty low.

thanks for the replies though.

definately go with a +2 or +3, getting one that is +1 forward will help too.
