alright, i'm not sure about which forum to put this in but I gotta problem. ALright i'm 6'2" and about 190 and it is getting so uncomfortable to ride. I can not stand up strait and touch my bars no matter what. I'm running the ac pro peg nerfs which doesn't help because they raise up the pegs and move them forward and the bars are super low. So basically my question is what do you bigger guys who race suggest for a set up. I'm gonna get a longer stem but I don't know how much that will help because it will bring the bars closer to my chest. I'm thinking about going w/ a +2 stem though. Does that sound reasonable. Also do you think its possible to modify the pro pegs to sit lower and farther back?

[Stevie-D]

buy a high-bend bar and move it farther forward

[Pappy]

try the +2 stem with cr high bend or double hi bend. im sure you have the arm length and it should feel much better. i have the oposite problem...im short and most of the race bends are to far forward for me

[Glow Plug]

go with the +2 stem with higher bend bars and if that does not help enough thne you could consider putting your stock pegs back on and buying a standered nerf bar :)

[Stevie-D]

and after you get a new set of nerfs...you could donate your old ones to me!:D :rolleyes:

Get a +2+1 stem. This is 2" higher and 1" out. I'm 6'2" and about 190lbs. with Cr Hi bend Tag T2's and don't seem to notice any problems. BTW, why do you want to stand straight up and still be able to grab the bars?

thanks for you help, I'm pry gonna be getting a new set up soon and I think this will be the one. As low as they are now my muscles get really sore when I ride because my knees are constantly bent and I can't ever stretch them out and its hard to have any leverage on the bars. Thanks.

[Tommy 17]

i run renthal 400ex bends and i'm 6'0 and i'm fine...

[Nausty]

lol, I don't stand up strait when I ride but I mean it just isn't comfortable for me and I don't have a lot of leverage on the bars and I always feel like the bars are at my chest.

just get a kfx700, shouldnt be a problem no more :o
