I could live with the forward controls but I'd prefer mids. When I take off from a stop, I intuitively pick up my feet and want to place them in the "standard" location, but the pegs aren't there. I'll ride it awhile with the pegs in the stock location. Maybe I'll get used to it. The 18" wheel will be spoked up and installed next, then maybe the pegs. The megaphone is an EMGO. It has a fiberglass wrapped core, but it's still pretty loud if you twist the grip on the right side of the bars hard.

I can stand with my legs while pulling up on the bars.  It’s ok for a second or two for a bump/hole coming up in the road.  No biggie for me.  Up, and then down, about that fast.
For long legs on a 6’+ framed human, I don’t know since I don’t have a 6 footer  frame.

I have 18" wheels front and rear on my tracker.  Still inching along on the motor rebuild, so I haven't ridden it yet.  Notched swingarm, front lowered by using a modified bottom triple clamp as an upper triple clamp.

18" wheel conversion done with Mike's XS rim and spokes, 120/80-18 Shinko 705 fitted with about 1/4" swingarm clearance as predicted by ohiomoto. Observations: The nipple holes in the rim could have been drilled at a slightly greater angle. Noticeable to the trained eye but not off enough to cause a problem  -- I think. The slightly greater diameter raised the rear enough to make a noticeable , positive difference in the steering geometry. I'm encouraged that longer shocks will help even more. I like the change. Now on to the foot pegs.

Lol! Good observation, but mostly coincidence. The 2016 Dodge Challenger R/T was bought at the end of the model year for 20% off the sticker, the truck was a company truck that became mine upon retirement, and the Suzuki was a great deal that just happened to be red. Motorcycles in my care and custody have a way of changing colors, however.
