2006+ FJR Ergonomics - Tall riders

[EWL]

Hi,

I tried doing some searches but was not very successful in finding any posts that dealt with how comfortable this bike is for taller riders. So, all you tall riders out there, I'd love to hear from you! My main concern is leg room, and the next would be wind buffeting. I've primarily ridden sport bikes and I don't mind a clean wind blast or a bit of a reach to the bars.

I'm 6'5" with a 36" inseam. According to the specs, the FJR seat at its highest position appears to be at the top of its class. However, what is the seat to peg distance like? Are the pegs lower or higher than other sport tourers? I haven't had the opportunity to sit on an FJR, but the BMW K bikes (1200S/GT & 1300S/GT) I've sat on have felt nearly perfect.

Are the pegs adjustable, or are there any common mods people do?

Thanks!

I find about 10 threads talking about the subject here including discussions of after market windshields to mitigate things.
