Tall Man Bars Finally Tall Enough!!!!

(1/3) > >>

stock500:
I finally found a set up that is great for me (6' 5'' tall).  I used a stack of washers under the bar mounts (a trick I learned from this website, I can't remember who though), then I got a set of Pro Taper Contour Atv High Bend bars which are 4 3/4'' tall.  I then got the adapter for the big bars that gives you an additional 3/4'' rise.  I can't beleive the improvment in the comfort when I am standing.  That has to be the best money I have spent on any of my bikes so far.  I am going to get some wide foot pegs next.  If any of you have wide pegs you like let me know.  Anyway I am sure there are several big guys on here that are looking for the right fit so I thought I would give my two bits worth.  I will post pictures soon.

Here are the pictures if you were wondering.

nice mod... on a side note where did you get your black tank from?

stock500:
It is the Stock Tank that was used for the 2004 model year.  It came with the bike.  I want to get the zip ty racing kit for it later though.

P.S.  It looks like your 500 would make a grown man cry.

^^^ I wonder if the oem tank would cost more than a stock aftermarket one?

...i liked your idea enough i just had to change it
