I'm 6'2" and have standard bars and pegs- no wish to change them and knees tuck in the fuel tank just fine. Used a sheep skin pad on occasion but once I get used to riding the standard seat is OK for a 300 mile trip. An MRA adjustable screen keeps the wind pressure off my chest.

at 6'3 - i find the only thing i would change is the screen as it doesnt displace enough air but other than that its fine.
