question for tall crf owners

[wy4tt]

i know this has been addressed before, but i can't find the old posts. so my question is...for you tall guys, what setup do you use and how do you like it? bars, clamps, pegs...gimme it all please. i'm 6'4" and initially the bike feels a little small. everything else seems great. thanks in advance.

I am 6' 4" as well and I feel a little cramped on my bike too. I plan to put tall seat foam and the Fastway Lowboy pegs on my CRF over winter. I am also running CR-High handlebars.

Well I'm 6'6" and have an '03 with McGrath bend bars and some spacers (3/16") under the Applied bar clamps. It fells pretty good to me, but I have relatively short legs (34"inseam, they call me "Torso man" ;) ). I was thinking of the lowboy pegs, but I don't think I need them. I'll probably get Carmicheal bars next time, the're a little taller and less pull back. FYI

thanks for the input guys. i just got my crf so i haven't touched anything yet. still has the stock bars even. just got it a few days ago. i was kinda worried about the ht. thing, that's why i posted this. but it feels pretty good now...with the high bars i'm sure it'll be fine. incredible bike, btw. love it so far.

i put the new protaper(used to be oberg) adjustable top triple clamp on my 03 with cr high protapers. works great.

I'm 6'1' with long legs. I got the fastway f4 lowboys, an sdg complete tall seat, and doug henry pro tapers. I love it but if I was any taller I would go for the adjustable bar mounts too. Going sitting to standing is so ez, and the pegs give you a lower center of gravity when standing not to mention when I grip the seat with my knees its way better cause the seats farther up my legs.On my 02 crf the lowboys are also a half inch back so finally the shifter is out of the way when I want it to be and ez-er to shift perfect every time. The 03 crf has a longer shifter so that must be nice.

I'm 6'4" and ride a '99 WR400. Single best mod I've made to the bike has been Thumper Racing +1.5" bar risers. They move the bars 1.5" up & 1.5" forward. My wife is 5'11" and has the +1" versions on her XR250R and loves them. I can email you a picture of my WR if you'd like.

I am running the Emig High Clamps, Tag AX bend and an SDG seat. The seat makes all the difference in the world! SDG Home page

Thump, how much taller would you say the SDG seat is over stock. 1.5 or .5"?
