RE: AHHHHHH My back!!!!!
I am 6'4" as well, sportys need some mods to be comfortable for full sized people.
1 yes, a better seat - I have a corbin gunfighter I think is great.
 \\;
2 maybe extending your cotrols forward - I did mine +5" - see nevets mod in the stickys
 \\;
3 more travel in the suspension

RE: AHHHHHH My back!!!!!
Just looking at your sig pic I can see that you're slumping your lower back, basically sitting on the back of your ***. \\; Try scooting (rotating? can't really slide back) your *** back and sitting up more straight. \\; My lower back was really bothering me too until I made myself adjust my posture. \\; I know, not as much fun or cool as buying something, but it might work the best.

I was going to say the same thing. \\; When I sit like that, my back gets sore after a short while. \\; Try straightening your back while you ride.

Yeah, didn't yo momma tell you to sit up straight? \\; Turns out it is important. \\; If you can't sit up straight in your seat, you need to change something so that you're comfortable: \\; Seat, control locations, bars, etc. \\; Of course, some people like a certain look, regardless of comfort or functionality, but I prefer things that work right first.

RE: AHHHHHH My back!!!!!
My back hurt until I changed the position of my bars. \\; I have 10" mini apes on the stock 883C riser and was hunched forward to reach them. \\; I rolled them back a bit so they are at the same angle as the forks and now I sit upright and don't have to lean forward to reach them. \\; Oh yeah, my back and arms don't hurt anymore when I ride either.
