Owners around six feet and up: did rearsets, seat changes, or clip-on adjustments help, or did they just move discomfort somewhere else?

Maintenance before modifications.

    A slightly taller seat opened my knees without changing controls. I would try reversible changes before rearsets on a street bike.

    Ride your own pace.

    Core support and tank grips helped more than rotating the levers. The compact cockpit never became a touring position, but two-hour rides are fine now.

    Check brake-line and fairing clearance before changing clip-on angle. Small adjustments use up space quickly.
