If you've got a long body, don't you (or your fitter) just have / put your seat further back
Seat set back is driven by the legs, not the body. Although KOPS isn't the iron rule some people make it out to be, it's not far off as major deviations tend to make pedal reaction have too much horizontal component.

I guess that is true if you use or take into account KOPS. I set my amount of setback based on not having too much weight on my hands.
Other than respecting the god of KOPS, what issues are there with a horizontal component to pedalling? Given that people manage to pedal recumbents OK, it's not immediately obvious to me, but I might be missing something.

If you've got a long body, don't you (or your fitter) just have / put your seat further back, so that you are still balanced on it, ie so that you don't put too much weight on your hands?
