Putting a tall rider in tight quarters can strain joints and restrict movement. A knees-high position puts added pressure on your backbone, and can interfere with the handlebar in full-lock turns.

TALLER SEAT - A Tallboy seat moves you up and back to give you a more commanding and relaxed position at the controls, and may help cure recurring leg cramps. Learn more about Seats
WIDER HANDLEBAR - Choose a wider or taller handlebar that moves your elbows away from the body and provides clearance for comfortable turning. Learn more about Handlebars
EXTENDED FOOT CONTROLS - Give your knees a break and stretch ’em out. Extended forward foot controls allow you to ride longer and more comfortably. Learn more about Foot Controls

If you’re a short rider, the foot controls are difficult to reach and your lower back hurts from the stretch to the handlebar. When stopping, you can barely touch the ground, and when you back into a parking space, you have to pull yourself forward to turn the handlebar.

LOWER SEAT - Adding a Low Profile or Reach® seat immediately brings you closer to the controls. This reduces the seat height so you can plant your feet with confidence. Learn more about Seats
NARROW HANDLEBAR - Reduce the reach to the controls by adding pullback risers or a narrow handlebar with minimal rise and maximum pullback. Learn more about Handlebars
LOWER SUSPENSION - Adding a Profile® Low suspension reduces the tip-toe feeling when stopped, while lowering the center of mass for an improved feeling of control. Learn more about Suspensions
![]() | Rear Suspension Whether you’re chopping the back end to fit your measurements or style, lowering kits allow you to plant your heels with confidence and ride more comfortably. | ![]() | Seat Where the seat positions your waist relative to the foot controls, hand controls and pavement are equally important. Seat heights will vary, so test-sit a variety of shapes to see how it affects your reach to the handlebar. | ![]() | Grips And Mirrors If your hands aren’t comfortable, try some grips with larger or smaller diameters. Proper mirror height will also improve your ride by avoiding unobstructed views of the road. |

![]() | Handle Bars Rise, width and pullback: the three measurements of any handlebar. These unique combinations place your hands, wrists, arms and shoulders in different positions. Riser kits can customize any handlebar to your specific needs. | ![]() | Front Suspension For the ultimate slammed look and feel, consider lowering your front fork suspension. You’ll feel the difference in responsiveness, while keeping the same ride quality of a standard position. | ![]() | Foot Controls Where your feet meet the controls is equal parts riding style and physical necessity. Whether you ride aggressively or laid back, take your inseam into account and find the foot position that’s right for you. |

| On Your Toes
Not having your feet planted firmly at a complete stop poses a safety risk and also hampers your confidence on the road. Drop your seat height and suspension for solid control when starting, stopping and maneuvering. |
KNEES ARE HIGH
A congested riding position puts unnecessary strain on your knees, hips, feet and back. Try stretching out by moving your foot position forward on your bike. Then test-sit some seats that move your body up and back. |

WORN OUT HANDS
Improper grip diameter wears out your hands and wrists. Find the diameter that lets you grab the controls firmly and capably. While you’re at it, adjust your mirror stems to the most convenient height for minimal visual obstruction. |
back hurts
Discomfort in the lower back is generally a good indicator that your bike is not properly fit. It could be your seat, foot position, handlebar or a combination of the three. |
reaching too far
Stretching too far to reach the handlebar can exhaust your shoulders, neck, arms and lower back—and it makes for tough handling in tight spaces. Try a seat that puts you closer to the hand controls and offers a commanding posture. |
