how tall are you guys that do standups? Im a little over 6'5" and i cant comfortably stand on my pegs and feel like i have any control over my bike. Feels like im gonna go over the front when the front tire is still on the ground.

I am pretty tall my self but the thing is when your riding the bike normaly its not a comfortable situation to stand up. If you try to get your bike wheelie and really get some height you will notice the oposite, suddenly you can stand very comfortable.

But take it easy, your first wheelies standing up will probably get you scared and do throttle off, but keep trying and get to learn your balance point. The balance point is much higher then your think.

I dont know my height in "feet" but in "centermeters" its 186.
