Hi Robert...I'm 6'3"... no problem... but I think if I was just a tad
taller, my leg would probably be pressed against the crash pad/bottom of
dash...
The seats can be adjusted pretty much as far back as they're going to
go, though there might be some room to do some modifications to get it
practically pressed against the bulkhead behind it...
The second thing to do... is to change seats... either have them
altered... or buy alternative seats... the idea being... to get you
further back in the seat...
It would sure get messy to make changes to the dash (for more clearance
at the top.)
I've been contemplating removing the dipswitch & support... so that I
can stretch out my left leg when I'm grand touring...
...just a few thoughts.
