Is there a part I could buy to raise my kdx a little. I'm on the taller side so I want a little height.

IIRC you can buy shorter dogbones for the rear linkage to raise the end an inch or so. I did it on my 98 220 to maintain geometry after a switch to KX forks. Look on ebay.

I'm 6' 2"" and needed a little more height.
Went with Enduro Engineering bar risers for 1 1/8" bars and Trail Tech "Woods bend" X bars.
The EE risers also push your bars forward a tad, giving you a little more room- kills three birds with one stone- higher Up, further away and 1 1/8 bar adapter.
Fits my standing position perfect.

I am 6'2" also and have just about the same setup as "tirebiter". 1 1/8 Pro Taper bars and risers and a tall seat. Really made a big difference in look and feel.

Tire biter if it's not asking too much could you post a picture of you standing on the bike, I'm about the same height. Also did these mods effect handling?
