Re: tall guy bike setup
Ummmm......yeah......glad you said it, yourself!
You'll get used to it. You shouldn't have your leg "locked", anyway. No, you don't need a "cheater peg"......the passenger peg already serves this purpose. Staggered wheelies feel wierd at first....just takes time. My boy MikeOnTheBike is 6'7", and has NO mods done to his bike to compensate for his hieght. Seat time, man........seat time.

I'm 6'4 and just rode and 08 600rr sunday. Standups suck like on most 600rrs.
OMR subcage is the solution. Pulls the pegs back a few more inches. Then it is alla bout seat time.

Re: tall guy bike setup
Yeah.....I think he told me that there was one avail for him to use about a month before I asked him, originally. Bad timing....
Did you see Johnny P's Kawi Monster bike build? Print up a pic of his subcage he did using the stock brackets and take that, along w/ your bike to a good welder....they'll hook it up, I'm sure.
