Default RE: Tall riders

I am probably the biggest, tallest and most messed upguy on a 1000RR in this forum. I am 6'5" 310 lbs.I have had spinal fusion surgury and I am currently riding with a cracked knee... my 1000RR is as comfortable as can be expected, the most uncomfortable part of my body while riding is my knees (even before I cracked one). I can go about 1 1/2 to 2 hours before I start to wanna stop and stretch. I don't know if it is a problem with other riders but it is also a little hard to tuck under the windscreen at higher speeds.....
