    Hi everyone, happy new year.
    I have a 09 450TE, I'm 6' 2" and standing find the bars to low, it has the standard spacer fitted, how do you other guys find this? Obviously there are a few roads to go down, new bars or machined spacers. I'd like a few opinions before I spend money on bars, also has anyone fitted Pivotpegs, and there opinions.
    Thanks.

    I'm on a TE310 and actually felt like the bars were to low when standing, and to high when sitting for me at 6'-1". I ended up just putting a stabalizer on which lifted them a bit and found a compormise in where I had them rotated to make it work right, primarily when standing. The other thing you might consider, is lowering your pegs a bit per the following link:

    I tried the pivotpegs and personally didn't care for them. They didn't work with my bike carrier for one, but more importantly, they made me feel unstable most of the time. Grant it, I didn't give them a lot of time to make a full evaluation, but I don't think they were for me in any event. Great quality, and top notch customer service though. If nothing else, they sure looked pretty!
