  | Help // R1 Mods for the TALL I have a friend who is 6'10 he has a 2004 R1. He almost never rides it because after his legs hurt after an hour of rideing. He went on the R1 form and basicaly got teasted about his height & got no help. Bastards  What he wants to do is make his rear pegs the main ones & possibly drop them as well but when he's looked at changeing the pegs they seem to get smaller for raceing... Does anyone have any suggestions (beside him selling the bike) I told him you guys were all cool & I would get some real ideas of who could help him out. 8) Thanks |

 I think he's kind of SOL. He might want to try and pick up a larger bike like a ZX12 or maybe something like a KTM950 that has a 36 inch seat height.

| He's SOL rear sets go up and in not down and out. He is going to have to deal with it or get a different bike like Gummo said. Sorry... |
