I was thinking about putting a riser on the bars to see if that helps. I have the bars rolled forward so they are even with the fork line.

Was doing some practice on the hills on the property and noticed I am really uncomfortable standing! Any braking and I'm over the top and way unbalanced.

I'm 6'2" is that helps. Arms span is about the same 6'-6'4" or so. I'm proportionate.
Find some decent riders to ride with.You sound like a true beginner.You need to find a riding crew that will take you in and they will get you up to speed.They will also help you with bike setup and maintenance crap.
