Those look like MotorcycleLarry.com peg extenders. You give up some cornering clearance with these installed, which is why I sold the set the PO of my bike had installed, but they do ease the knees.
For the long trips, this is exactly how I have it, and it normally stays that way, although a short ride with twisties I go on the lowest all over. Its not the most comfortable, but the CofG seems so much lower and better in the tight corners. BTW, I have an aftermarket seat so that changes things a bit as well.I'm 5' 11", or at least I was in my youth , and have a 34" inseam. The MCL risers were installed by the PO and I have the seat in the highest position in the front bracket, but the second from highest in the rear, to reduce sliding forward during braking. I sit pretty upright, perhaps partially due to the seat position (?) and don't have any noticeable weight on my wrists.
I keep my seat in the high positions front and back. It's a bit of a stretch on occasion but doable.I have the front in the middle and now the rear can go to it's lowest position.
Has anyone else removed those rubbers? That's the only way I could get the rear of the seat in it's lowest position. I have a RDL seat and I am pushing it (tippy toes on the ground) with having the front of the seat in the "middle" position. Going to the high position isn't going to work......I keep my seat in the high positions front and back. It's a bit of a stretch on occasion but doable.
The most comfortable position was middle for both front and back. However something from the seat (molding ribs?) caused small divots in the Tup so I went back to high/high. It only seemed to happen with the rear of the rider's seat in the middle position.
If the Tup didn't (doesn't?) suffer I'd try high/mid or high/low. Let us know how that works out for you!
