[QUOTE="bills442, post: 235526, member: 23035"] This is a great question. I actually wanted to ask this earlier but never did. I'm not even that tall: I'm about 6"1. I can grip the bike ( a 99 kdx 200 with racetech springs for my weight ) just fine when sitting down with my knees, but my knees are above the seat when I stand, I basically have no contact with the bike at any point but my boots. I bought some frame guards to widen the surface area and they seemed to help a lot, but still when accellerating while standing I feel I have no real grip on the bike. Unless I try to position my whole body forward its feels like I am falling backwards. So I guess I have reasonable grip with my ankes when standing but still don't have a good grip if accelerating and standing. [/QUOTE]
