DR650 Raising ride height options?

Hi all, as a tall rider (6'6") Im finding the distance between the pegs and the seat isnt ideal. What options have I got to raise it?

Im sure there is a better option than getting thicker foam on the seat!

Cheers

Seat foam will be the easiest method.

You could try and move your pegs lower by having some brackets made up, like they do on sportsbikes.

A combination of the two maybe the solution.

You could fit an Airhawk seat cushion and lower the footpegs. Check this site;
