Wow 6'-4" is a lot of you to put on a little bit of bike! You might really be better off with a larger pitbike because what you look to have is about as good as it gets without major dollars.

Remove the plastic, seat, electrics and engine and place them in the corner. Pick up everything else and throw it in the dumpster. Replace everything you threw away.

It's pretty much true which is why it's so funny. Look at the picture and look at your stock XR50 and tell me where I am wrong :)

There are a few companies that make "lift" kits that raise everything (seat, tank, ect) up 1 or 2 inches. That might give you some room. Personally I think they make the bike look kinda funny, and part of having a "pit bike" is being cramped and uncomfortable :D Anyways you could also get a +1 frame as well to open the cockpit up to. Or like Patman said maybe sell this and get a mid-sized KLX or CRF70 style bike such as an SSR150TX or Pitster Pro X4R or the LXR just as examples.
