Possible fix for taller RC51 riders

Obviously I am focusing on riders with longer legs here. Those of us with longer legs have a problem with the cramping on long rides, and I may have a solution. A manufacturer of Rearsets has contacted me and is looking for an RC51 owner near Portsmouth NH who would be willing to let him mock up a solution on their bike. This would not lower your footpegs in any way but would give you more leg room. IF you are interested let me know and I will put you in contact with them.

Cheers!

I would appreciate if you could tell me their website address or phone number, i would purchase a set for myself and then spread the word here in Australia.

they dont have a website yet, they are looking for a bike to mock it up on then they will release them to the public. Basically the idea is to raise your seat about an inch, but that is all I am at liberty to share at this time at their request.

Re: Possible fix for taller RC51 riders

What would you consider long legs like over 6 feet tall? How tall are all you RCers out there? How short do you have to be to get a little comfort out of it?

I am 6'2" and a lard 4$$, but I LOVE THE RC's so much that I have even considered selling my 69 Mustang Mach I restomod to buy the 1990 RC30 on Ebay right now. So all I can do is , , and .
