Dick,
Thanks for the suggestions, I am also 6'-2" and have had some concerns
regarding fitting in the TR6. Another factor that can cause discomfort is
the long foot well and lack of a dead pedal for the left foot, oddly enough
even at my height. I was close to installing a dead pedal but happened to
replace the driver seat foam and found that the resulting increased support
of the thigh made the stretching out of my left leg much more comfortable.
I don't plan on installing a dead pedal now.
