With the pegs I have seen some that also moved the pegs backwards a bit.  That might give you  a little more room without sacrificing ground clearance.  If I see them again I'll send them on.  I have heard good things about the bar risers but have no experience.  Good luck!  Kevin

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES .. . . THEY ARE NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING, BUT THEY STILL BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN YOU PUSH THEM DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS.

Man you're tall, hope you've considered the adventure model!!

But in all seriousness look at the ones at  www.adventurersworkshop.com  

They should come long enough to work for even you. Hope this link works?? Good it does, it's the AWS risers, they go up 65mm which for us sub metric people is about, almost 3" which would help ,Alot! They may even be able to make up a custom order if you ask. Doesn't hurt to call them and see what they think, as they are pretty innovative as you can see by some of their products.

Let us know if this helps??

You don't want to go with Twisted Throttles 1" up and 1" back as this maybe even worse! The AWS ones have places to mount your electronics thru screw holes for RAM mounts on their top, they aren't cheap, but near 3" rise would definitely be getting close to where you need, I believe there is a ride report by a tall guy with the same problem their, but not sure.

PS: The ROX riser offer a 2 1/4" rise at a cheaper price, but I believe a call to them will help decide which is best !!Good Luck! And don't be draggin nothin' on the ground at that altitude its scarry

Hey JC,

your post cracked me up and was super helpful. i wish the gallery was a little better but the AWS risers look like the way to go. And I like the potential for directly screwing in accessories to it. That's hot!  The fact that I don't have  to modify anything is also a plus. I will give them a call and let ya'll know if I decide to get them and how it works out.

As far as the height thing, i've been lucky enough to be fairly well balanced and coordinated. So I don't mind throwing myself around even at this height. Being an athlete for most of my life helped with that i'm sure.

Besides that my friends and brother seem to get a kick out of seeing me ride and they say i make the bike look small. You gotta see me with my legs up on the highway pegs, me sitting on the passenger seat all sprawled out! Now THAT is comfortable!

I have a 2005 r12rt and installed those risers and glad I did. I like to be as upright as possible. I'm 6'

okay....

i ended up getting the AWS risers 65mm and plan on installing them this week, hopefully.

has anyone installed these on their GS? if so, is there anything i need to know before doing so?

the instructions seem pretty straight forward and they seem to be plug and play but there is some mention about repositioning one of the cables (throttle, i think). 

lemme know...
