Default Better Fit For Tall Riders?

Have any of you tall riders opened up the ergonomic triangle to enable longer rides?

I'm 6 feet tall, 170 lbs, with a 34" inseam.

Heli-bars? Foot peg lowering kits? Different seat?

I'm not looking for touring bike comfort. I just want to be able to ride my '54 all day.

Thanks.

Sandy

6' 2" and only a sargent seat. That has made all the difference in the world for me. I have no problem riding all day.

I've heard of people putting on handle bar risers. A damper also helps.

Does the seat help keep you from sliding forward while riding on level surfaces?

Much more than the stock seat yes. Its still angled a little bit forward, but it has a nice pocket to sit in. My G/F rode my bike and ordered one for her bike the same day. I really cant say enough about them. Pic of it on my bike, you can kinda see how its shaped to the bike a bit.

I'm 6'3" and I use a Corbin seat. It makes a big difference in my opinion and I would definately recommend a Corbin.
