Ergo difference, 5th gen/6th gen?

What are the ergo differences between the 2 generations?

I have a 99 but, when I bought it, I test rode an 03 as well and liked the ergo positioning of the 6th gen better.

Anyone know what the differences are?
grips higher?
pegs further down? forward? back?
seat lower/higher.

If anyone has both and could do a triangulation measurement, that would help a bunch. (seat height to bar height to peg)

I love my 5the gen but would like to replicate the 6th gens ergos.

Thanks
Scott

 

ZAM, add HeliBars and a taller Givi windscreen. Your back, like mine, will thank you immensely at the end of a 400 mile ride. :tongue:

 

My 99 isn't uncomfortable...The 03 I rode just felt - well better. I also test sat an 06 yesterday and the same feeling...

I only recently bought the 99 and am amazed at how fast I am getting used to the new position (I have rode an 1800 VTX for the last 17000 miles/2 years) I thought it would take alot longer. I'm in decent shape so maybe that helps.

Thanks for the suggestions - I already put on Genmars and a Zero Gravity DB.
I really like both.

 

hmm I didn't notice anything from the 5th-6th other than it looks and sounds different not sure I'd be able to tell if me ears where plugged and my eyes closed oh opps ouch! what was that I hit

 

Having gone from Gen 6 to Gen 5 can confirm you are right the Gen 6 bars are a little higher and a little closer giving you a slightly more relaxed riding position, in my case I just let my body adjust to the change over a little time and now find I am just as comfortable over distance as standard on the Gen 5.
