Apes are definitely a help with me (6'4") though I'm not as tall as some of you. With my FXST I put Ness forward controls on and ape hangers. It pushed the pegs forward 3 inches. If there's something similar for footboards I'd go for it because that little 3" actually makes a big difference.

When you don't extend your feet and bring your hands up it makes a tall person look like a monkey f&*$ing a football and that's never good.

Hey Bucs012,
Did your backrest shove you forward on your seat? I'm 6'3 and my backrest makes me feel like i setting on the freakn' tank. Drives me NUTS.
Thanks,
zlaneb
