I’m 6.5’ and love it, but I have some minor challenges to overcome.
Therefore I want to share some info that might help other tall dogs as well as getting some info.
First is shoes, finding shoes my size is Mission Impossible, never mind biker boots.....any specific place where I can look for boots?
Secondly, here is some info that might help. I struggled to find a helmet but eventually managed to get hold of a Arai XXL and it fits well.
Thirdly, wind noise and buffeting is a big issue, so I bought a screen extension on Banggood and it works well, except for the fact that it needed to be just 2cm taller as the wind now just just hits the top of my helmet. Where can I buy a bigger screen for a GS 1200?
Lastly, Ive also ordered some handle bar raisers and will keep you posted.
Any other advice from the big dogs?
