My upper legs start to cramp after riding my bike for only 15 minutes. Has anyone else experienced this? Would installing forward controls extensions, or heel rests, help?
Do you carry a wallet in your back pocket when you ride? If it's very thick, it could cause you to pinch one of the nerves than run down the back of your legs.

I used to get cramps on a Honda with mid controls, but never with forwards. Maybe a disk problem in your back? Don't know?
There are numerous "cures" for leg cramps for you. The
first thing to check is your water consumption. Dehydration is one
common cause of leg cramps. Potassium and calcium intake are another
factor.
Its not always the motorcycle.
I do appreciate everyone's response to this painful dilemma. I agree that it is not always the bike. However, I ride other bikes (all with either mid-controls or rearsets) and do not experience similar leg cramps--even after riding for hours.
