Default A way out for taller riders

Hey guys i'm 6'5" myself and the 900 was just cramped, i got a busa for long rides and did the buell peg mod to it for added comfort, but i still like rocking the 900 but after getting off the suzuki i feel super super cramped and uncomfortable. Well after a comment a guy made on hayabusa.org i got to thinking and went out to the garage.

Theres a guy on hayabusa.org that sells the modded buell pegs ready to install, thats what i bought, so pulled one off and low and behold it fits on the honda, it will take a small amount of grinding on the peg to make it perfect but i was able to put the pin in and get a leg up on it. WOW that few inches puts my knee well under the tank hump and stretches me out a bit more, the peg itself isnt any lower that stock its just "notched" down so to speak.

Think i may yank em off tomorrow and put em on the honda and see how it feels.
Heres a link to the buell peg kit, joe is a real stand up guy, if i like how it feels i'm going to order another kit from him
