Fitting an adult on board

[imdying]

Are there any rules pertaining to how you can modify your chassis and bodywork in regards to seating and foot peg position?

I'm planning on moving my seat hump back, and replacing the pegs with a small running board type of setup to mount my feet into, so that my 6 foot frame can move around the bike a little easier. Is that generally legal for racing?

Be carefull moving weight around on the bike dude, its gonna stuff up your handling. We just use a spacer about 20mm thick under the seat on ours to get a little leg room and to be able to use the footpegs better.

What else have you tried, and what effects did it have? Raising the seat might be worth a look

Thats all we've done. Apart from the 50mm polyeurethane semi suspension seat spacers I tried on one of my cags. But moving your **** or your pegs back is gonna make it wheely and reduce corner grip at the rear too probably. To me, moving it up is not such a problem because it allows me to use my legs better and load the bike from the pegs,(thus shifting weight down and forward towards the centre of the bike) plus be able to move around.

try different cag frams too, SQ frames are alittle shorter and squat hence why they corner so well, i'm 6ft and i use a braced up Lamus style frame, bit longer but it works for me, theres another type out here not sure on the name but there pretty lite gauge but have similar caracteristics to a SQ once braced up. Also i changed to meat hook foot pegs and practiced my ridding postion a bit as i too had the problem of my size 13 feet hitting the ground but i just practiced my ridding postion and now feel very comfortable on the bike, stick with it and soon pick up a good riding postion

lucky7's are really good for leg room, they are like blata reps! lol.

But a SQ will be no good, pegs are high and don't give as much leg room but are great for leaning..

It's amazing how little differences make the bikes totally different to ride. The B1 rep is like an arm chair compared to the ZPF, but there's not a lot of difference in them (pegs are about an inch higher). Wheelbase used to be about 50mm more than a CAG, but now it's only about 10mm more, and that's definitely helped it's car park performance. I'm hoping that moving my butt backwards will actually give me a little leg room to allow me shift me weight forward. Sounds a bit backwards, but should work in principle. I'll definitely give raising the seat up a go first though, that should do the same job I've already shaved the top of the (30mm nylon rod) pegs, which saved me a good 10mm, and every little bit helps when you're 6 foot riding a bike for somebody 3 foot high hahahaha.

I'm 5'9, and riding one of the Cgs myself, with a set of meathooks. Bike seat and pegs are at stock height, and I don't really have a problem with fitting on it. I know several 6"+ guys also riding the same size and style, plus a few riding GP RS-Rs, which have aslightly longer and taller frame.
