I'm 6' 190 pounds (13.5 stones). I did a track day and had a real hard time feeling comfortable. My knee couldn't hold onto the tank right. Any of you modify the rearsets or have suggestions for me?

6' 2" 180lbs- no problems - other than remmbering to tuck behind the DB screen :smt003

Im just over 6 ft too.
I use a solid seat unit instead with race foam. Ive altered the subframe so the seat height is up about 40mm. Makes the difference mate. If you use a standard seat, try adding a layer or two of race foam to it.

I will rig the seat a bit higher to start. I really liked how easy it was to slide off of. Think there would be any advantage to moving the pegs back? Know of any bikes I might be able to salvage some off of 750 etc? If not I may take a what at fabbing some up. I don't want to have too much money in this bike!

I'm 6ft2" and a lot heavier that you and I have no issues.

I do, however, have a single seat unit on how - Which gives much much more room for moving around on, and makes the knee locking to the tank easier as you can get further back on the seat.

Cheers
