    Rider position

    I have a GS 650G. I find the foot control placement uncomfortable. Has anyone ever taken a GS engine and put it into a Cruiser style frame? I was thinking along the lines of a Harley Style frame, it would (it seems) allow for the engine to be moved forward 4-8 inches. This would be a more comfortable position for tall riders like me 6'4".

    Any thoughts on this.

    Position huh? I've always preferred the bike on the bottom, rider on top arrangement.

    I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. H.D.T.

      What you want is an L model, which is the cruiser. I don't think they made a 650L, but did in the bigger bikes- check the for sale forum

      By the way, I'm 6'4" and love the riding position on my 78Gs100C - maybe you should try lower handlebars

        Position

        I too am over 6 ft. I find the riding position on my 79 GS850 preferable to the position offerred on the various Harley's I have ridden.
        However I am sitting behind a Hannnigan Fairing.
        Ride em hard and put em away wet.....
