New Member - KZ1000 and tall riders

Just wondering if any guys let’s say 6’5” and up are riding KZ’s comfortably? I’m 6’6” and it feels crammed when feet are on the pegs. Any suggestions? Was thinking a taller seat would help. Might be a long shot, but I wanted to see if any taller riders have done anything to their bike to make it fit more comfortably?

I am also 6''6' - size 13 shoe. Personally I have found the stock controls to be acceptable on the KZ lineup i've ridden - 400, 650, 750, 750t, 1000. I find the boots/shoes I wear make a big difference. If i'm wearing steel toe boots its a real pain to shift. Most other footwear is fine but proper riding boots with a low profile toe are the best. Relative to sportbikes these old bikes are quite comfortable IMHO.

Have you tried adjusting your controls? what bike are you riding?
