Cool. Yeah I'm 5'11" and have been considering the Roadster but know if I get one I'll end up putting forwards and different bars on it...

How do the forward controls feel? What style of bar are you looking at changing to?

Maybe worth mentioning that with forwards I had the same problem , instant backache . So I switched to mid controls and it was better but the bike still gave me some backache . Well here's the good news, after 4000 miles of ownership the backache has gone ! So maybe it's a case of just giving your body time to adapt . For my part , it's bound to take time to undo twenty years of GSXR riding .

the forwards feel comfortable, i actually like them but i got a mustang wide seat and while it is also comfortable it raises me a bit and puts me a bit back so now i gotta reach more for the bars. The stock seat and mid controls didnt give me much of a back pain but i could not stand that seat after an hour of riding and the peg also got uncomfortable after an hour. I want to get bars closer to me but i hate the look of long bars or mini apes so i have to see what would feel and look best for me.

Smartass is an excellent language to speak. It keeps things on an even keel.

Took your advice got the bracket off an 883 for 10 bucks, looks much cleaner without the passenger peg.
