Default What is the tallest guy you have seen on a ruckus?

So I am 6"6 and i think that i may look like a swedish meatball riding down the rode on a ruckus. Just seeing if they make seats that can be moved more towards the rear or if i am just going to have to get another kind of bike.

I'm 6'4", and I fit well enough with a lowered seat frame and foot pegs/frame brace. The only issue is that I sit towards the back of the seat a little (right over the rear tire). It would be more comfortable if the wheelbase was extended.

His is a custom weld on extension for his GY6 motor.
There are plenty of extensions for the stock motor, check out Totalruckus.com and you'll see.

My brother is 6'4 and looked pretty dumb on the stock ruckus... but I took all the plastics off, added an ATR extension, and lowered shock which gave the ruck that stretched look and now he looks pretty normal on it.

Seriuosly? I know you're new and all and trying to get your post count up, but bumping a 2year old thread isn't the way.
