Quote from: Blueknytdoesnt really change your center higher but it changes your proception of center greatly, as well as your leverage over your own weight.

Yes, it does move your COG higher. Your legs are higher up than they used to be. Your legs weigh a considerable amount, one of the largest percentages of your body (next to your torso). When you raise that amount of mass up, it raises the center of gravity.

I lay on the tank at tuck but leave my feet where they belong.  On extended trips when I think about streaching, i just take a break.  On that not I am with davipu, we want pics

HA HA!!  You fell into my trap!  The finger is pointing at you!!!

Yeah.. your finger is broken. It is upside down.  

Bring it up here, and I'll fix it right up.  :lol:

I lean down on the tank bag (which is 5 or 6 inches high).  If I were to lean down any further, I wouldn't be able to tilt my head back up enough to see the road. As it is I don't do it for long 'cause my neck gets sore.

Sometimes if I need to take all of the pressure off my arms for a bit, I'll  put the balls of my feet on the pegs and lift my heels.  This brings my knees far enough up that I can actiually rest my elbows on my knees.  Then I lean my chest on the tank bag.  It's a nice break.

On the highway, to get a stretch for a few minutes, I hang my feet on the rear pegs and lean on the tank bag which is pretty thick. Feels very comfortable. Sometimes I just put one foot back at a time to increase the safety aspect. I have never done any of this near City traffic or on highways that are anything but 'near prairie' condition - u know - straight and almost flat with wheat fields on the sides, not trees. Anyway I do it once in a while. I've stuck my legs out to the side to stretch but had a pretty bad experience with muscle cramping in my hip!   Bloody hell that hurts and you can't stretch it out until you stop and get off! So the rear pegs work best for me in this situation.

I had to do it on one on trip from Kelowna to Edmonton. 950kms and I did it in 12 hours total with 3 breaks for food and fuel. Had to get home from the Sport Bike West Rally because my wife was in hospital having emergency surgery to remove her appendix!   I would never have been able to do it on any bike that wouldn't allow the room to move around and lay down on it like the GS does. Great bike!   I keep thinking about this every time I consider 'moving up'.
Take care and Ride Safe you southerners!
