Hoping for a better fit

[Too Tall Texan]

Just got my R3 Touring. Bought in from out of state. Was hoping that it might fit better than my VTX1800R. Like my 1800, I've put handle bar risers which bring the bar higher and closer, but I put them on backwards pushing them out. That helps. I've also gone with extended hi way pegs. Another win. On my VTX, I put in fork extender inserts. Counter-intuitive, but that also helped. Going to go with a Mustang seat that lowers 1/2" and pushes back 1". Any other suggestions to make this moped fit my 6'8" self?

Hello Too Tall and welcome from a displaced Texan in Virginia. I have no new ideas for you to stretch out on your bike. Good luck

Buy a boss hoss????? you are one big guy, did you get the VTX to your satisfaction?
If you ever meet up with our resident Mexican-Lupe- you can use him as a portable s-toy.

Yeah, the VTX just sits a bit lower (ass to axle). I'll keep playin'. I'm a design engineer, so the torch might have to come out! I did strongly consider the Boss, but my marriage is too good to drop that kind of scratch! Thanks,

If the bike still has the OEM Touring bars then swap those out for T-bars or a Harley Touring bar. Both will have less rise and pull-back.
