Returning to bikes this year - Looking at a GSX1400 for my tall 6'8" frame

Welcome to the forum Hightower. Wonder if we should have a sub section for those over 6'4" (tall not round)
Best of luck finding yourself a 1400 to you liking.
:cheers:
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

Welcome to the forum Hightower,  :onya: at 6'8" you will probably need to look at getting the seat reprofiled to add a couple of inches to it.  I'm 6'3" and had my seat raised by 2" and it's much better.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

You might want to chat to @Blubber as he's another very tall guy who has had a gsx1400 for many years .
Enjoy  :cheers:

Welcome!
Be free to ask about seat and pegs mods for better legroom, I am 6"7 and did some mods to make it more comfy.  :cheers:

Blubber

Welcome.

Yep. Added about 4cm of foam to the front end of my 14.

Fits my 203 cm and 107kg body just fine. (38 inch inseam pants ) no issues with the stock position of the foot pegs.

For you it might be different

Welcome Hightower - the `14 seat height is surprisingly low, even I find it so, i`m 5`9", so you may well have to consider a mod or two as described above. :onya:
