Riding Position

[clmbandski]

I am going to pick up the absolutely mint '96 Tiger that I have just bought this afternoon.  During my test ride I noticed that despite the fact that you have to be tall to stand over it the foot pegs seem a bit far back and then the stock brake and shift levers seem short for my 6'1" legs.  Are there reasons for this position that are not yet clear to me or has someone come up with mods to slide their long legs forward a bit?

>for my 6'1" legs



Jesus, your legs are almost as long as I am tall  : )

That's pretty funny. :lol:

I hear you on being all scrunched up on the bike...and I'm only 5'9" and it really bothered me at first.  I now have put a couple thousand miles on it and no longer notice it.



I've never heard of any peg lowering kits for it; you may want to ask over on the Yahoo group as it seems to have a lot more carb'd Tiger people.

Got pics/details of the new bike???
