Default Frame question

Hey guys I have a quick question for you. I currently have an 03 EG and at 6'2" I feel really cramped on it. I know I have some options but want to explore some different avenues first. I realize there was a frame change in 09 and having sat on a late model SG I feel a little more comfortable. Is the frame bigger or more stretched out? I've already pushed my bars forward and added the Kury floorboard extensions, I do feel better but still not as comfortable as a SG. I'm to the point where I want to put some apes on it to get my arms stretched out some but before I go dumping a bunch of money in it I'm wondering should I get rid of it and buy a later model. I really don't care about performance but sure would like to feel like I'm so cramped.

Get a minus 2 seat, it will put you back further. A dealer near you may have some for demo.

Yes my 12 rk. Is stretched compared to mu buddies 01 king

I'm having the opposite of your problem.

I can't find a good minus 2 seat. Don't like the look of a Tall boy.
