What's your height and weight?

91kx:
Nice to see some young guys riding 500's.I'm 5'11'' and 190lbs.

Rick:
6'4" and 202 pounds just out of the shower and naked as a jaybird.  Don't need to gain or lose any weight.  My bike has the tallest bars I could find on the data charts (have no idea whose bend it is) and rolled forward so the ends turn up slightly; I have swapped the bar clamps for clamps that are one in taller; and I have added 2 inches to the seat foam to accomodate my 36" inseam.  If you're not tall, the bike feels like riding a horse, but if you're tall, it's perfect.

Twist-a-grip:
6'0", 175# 39years ancient.

kawdude:
I 5'10" and about 275.  The KX is tall for me until I sit on it!  Rick posted some good info on making dogbones to lower the bike.  If that's needed.

kmac:
6'4"+, 275+/-, working on hacking that down to around 240. Raised my seat foam 2" for my 35" inseam, taller tapered bars with higher mounting adapters, stock rear spring but cranked the adjusters for max stiffness/height. A guy said to me one day "Mac, you are the only guy I know that can make a KX500 look small"
