Pretty tall guy. How can I raise my bike higher? What is the proper way?
Also is there a kit or extension to raise the handle bars higher? Or maybe longer forks?

Default well

if you do, you may want to consider a small swingarm stretch too, otherwise you may end up looking like a bear on a tri-cycle

seriously though maybe a bigger bike??

It's a a big bike. Reason guy sold it to me was because it was to big and heavy for him...The bike is husky and Long, I just wish the front end or handle bars were a little higher.
I'm talking about 2 inches longer, Not 2feet, LoL.

Default risers

i used to have a 93 cbr 900rr so i know what your talking about. handle bar risers might be an answer. http://www.spieglerusa.com/cfm/sbk.cfm

Thanx crashndent! That's exactly what I was looking for. I'm gonna look into getting one.
It's a LiL. pricey but my 900rr is a keeper. She carries me around like a feather...Out of my two other bikes, Honda ss750 and Suzuki gs500f.- I LUV my 900rr fireblade the best.

Im not sure how tall you are but i'm 6'4 on a F4 600....I wish I could make my bike taller as well but I think it would look funny if i did and perhaps effect the handling. The sad thing is the new 1k's I am looking at for my next bike seem the same size or smaller than my current 600 which makes me somewhat upset. I'm pretty sure sport bikes are made for people that are about 5'10.

maybe some rear sets to set you feet a little further back?
