I love this bike, and hate to make it anything other than stock, but i had to change the bars immediately, and im considering a new seat (mostlikely not) any other tall folk out there? are forwards easy to control the bike? when i have my feet on the passanger pegs i feel i have less control, so idk about rearsets just yet. wish i could make it brat style cafe bike with seat on the frame, but my legs are just way too long. any input would be great!

There's lots of tall guys around here

The low seat on the L is a drawback for long legs

My 78 fits my 6'4", 34" inseam fine

My 79 with rearsets fits even better
