Have any of you tall guys made changes to the YFZ450 to better fit you? I am 6'5" and would like to know what works best to adapt the machine better. Specifically: taller seat foam, taller steering stem & different bars, relocated footpegs, etc. What have you done, and what works. Also, please give me your riding impressions on the improvements. In everyone's opinion, what is the biggest size rider that a stock 450 will properly fit w/o mods? I appreciate the feedback. Thanks.

 

I bent my steering stem the other day. It was either buy a new one or make one. So i decided to make one. I was gonna make it +2 but the cables was not long enough. So i made it a +1 and it is much better than stock. You can do the same or either buy a +1 +2 +3 +4.

 

I had a seat refoamed with a custom cover from ernie jr over at lovecars.com for an extra inch and then had some custom footpeg tubes done to drop a pair of ac progegs down another 1-3/4 inches. much better now.
