• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Foot brake - comments sought from taller Ryders

Hello Gomwa i am also the same height as you and i am on a 21 Rtl there is enough room to be comfortible and to opperate the brakes just fine.

Great to hear, Mosess……but we are all different, with different length inlegs and ankle flexibility, and it simply doesn’t work for either GOMWA or myself.;)

Ryding a 2020 F3Ltd at the moment. Getting used to not having a front break handle took me quite some months. My bod is a bit over 6' so the brake pedal is at its furthest setting. I've kept away from a wider pedal because occasionally my foot catches the the side/under the standard pedal. Breaking in the twisties stopped being an issue when I realised that being in the right gear and letting the lovely 3 cyl run up over 5k revs from time to time works very well. Enjoying every minute. Happy new year.
 
I am only 5'9, but have 34" inseam. Waited until the 2020 models before purchasing because the earlier one seemed cramped. I also invested in a set of HeliBars due to some serious shoulder problems. I have a RT LTD which works for me a friend who is 6'3" has a 2020 F3 LTD it has more leg room we both LOVE the HeliBars. Hope this helps
 
I've found for a lot of the twisties my 21 RT Limited has a significant amount of engine braking, so despite my height I don't need to brake as often as one would think. Doing switch backs of course,brakes are needed, for most twisty sets of roads I just get a nice flow going and it seems to be fine. I found that I have to be careful that I really close the throttle all the way as it has more travel than you think.

Anyway, it would be nice to lower the brake pedal and move it forward a bit, but there you go.

Yep. Yep, yep, mecsw. That is the ultimate goal of many of us taller riders. I haven’t given up the hunt for a solution yet, but I am getting close (to giving up). I may just HAVE to outlay for the ISCI handbrake.
