Is there a way to raise the ride height/seat height on our bikes? Im 6'2 and would like to sit a couple of inches higher in the saddle.

Raising the height of the bike wont add legroom while in the riding position. Raise the seat and lower the pegs.

I'm confused.

If you're comfortable with your feet on the pegs going down the road, what are you trying to accomplish? More ground clearance to run in the mud with CityXslicker, being able to straiten out your legs without standing up at stop lights? What exactly is the purpose of desired modification?

He already has more ground clearance than I do. And he could just swap out the ULY shock, and the front springs, do the fork lock conversion while you are in there.

We had 3 days of rain, there are some nice MUD pits to be violated and defiled. Pics coming
