Best Options for Taller Riders

Gumby
I am almost of the same dimensions as you.
My first impression when I sat on this bike was how low the saddle was. With both feet planted squarely on the ground my bum was at least 2 inches off the seat. This in itself was not a problem, but within 30 minutes of riding my knees were! The other problem was the aforementioned bum was numb after an hour.
I phoned some guys who advertise in the UK motorcycle press who are a couple of hours down the road and whilst I waited they took off the saddle cover and built up the dip at the fore end by about an inch with some special foam they use. 45 minutes later, original cover back on and £50 lighter I was on my way.
The results IMHO look good and have improved the ride ability (for me) by leaps and bounds. Definitely more bum comfort and it is now 2 hours before I have to stretch my legs.
Just another way to go.


Cheers
