[dsn_klr650] tall riders only
Posted: Wed Jun 21, 2000 4:41 pm
Hi Nick,
6'-6" and 225# here. I have only done performance mods so far, but when I
bought my bike, it had a Corbin seat installed. The Corbin seat doesn't
seem to be very popular with other listers, but it seems to fit my butt
pretty well.
I have been thinking about a taller windshield too. I'm afraid a taller
windshield will kill my KRL Krouch, but I'll keep an open mind.
It may look kinda goofy, but if I put my left hand on the handlebar cross
piece, I can rest my helmet's chin bar on my hand. Then I put my feet on
the passenger pegs and get into a fairly comfortable highway position. The
effects of wind gusts and big truck wakes are reduced too.
Let me know what you do to your bike.
Jim
