    I'm 6'1", and I did feel a bit cramped on the bike. Which is why I got a seat made by Rick Mayer - which sits me higher and further back. Now it's much better, and depending on my mood I can "tuck forward" for more of a sport bike feel or sit in a more relaxed upright position.

    I'm 6' and the pegs are a bit high for me in relation to the seat.

    The seat is very comfortable and the reach to the bars is perfect.

    Yeahoo,

    Thanks for the site link, this is interesting and informative. My last bike was a M109R and according to the site had a 120* knee angle. This might be part of why i am having a hard time adjusting. Thanks

    Maybe you need a backrest ??

    I would try a backrest to go along with the highway pegs. I agree the F6B is 'standard' seat and peg positions. For me its the most comfortable position for seating and pegs. I've had feet forward and slight rearward pegs on sportier bikes. My height is 5' 8" with a 30" inseam. Everyone's comfort and fit are different, you gotta find what fits you.
    Good luck.

    My pleasure! Just passing it on, I first heard about the site from the characters over on the Wildgoose Chase Moto Guzzi forum.
