ok i'm 6 foot 2 inch and can't stretch for sh't....the bar kit is a must at a minimum....seat and suspension help also but not imparative....you can buy a whole bar kit or piece on together from ebay

I'm 5'10" and about 215lbs..BBR Bar kit, stock on everything else. I don't see the value in the thick seat pads since I pretty much sit on the fender most of the time.
