    Anyone have any ideas on moving the seat tracks back?

    I'm only 6' 0", but I would like the driver seat to go back another inch or three.

    And yeah, a more space between the pedals would be nice too for us bigfoots.

    You know what they say about guys with big feet - they wear big shoes.

    Oh yeah, that and we have huge schlongs.

I have had no problems the the headrest; I tend to raise it up a bit and tilt it foreward so it sits just above the base of my skull, for what it is worth. My big feet are an issue, but I modded the mounting so it is okay now. The lever on the clutch has all of the paint worn off because my toes hit it whenever I shift.

    I'm 6'4", too, and have no issues with the headrests. I guess I don't understand the problem.
    If you're not running a headrest and get rear ended hard enough, whiplash will be the least of your worries. Your spine could actually separate from the bottom of your skull if you get hit hard enough.

    I know it sucks. I actually got my fenders rolled before. I did one side and my friend did the other, my side was pushed flat and he didn't go so far on his side so it rubs, battery side too. I jsut need to get some time to drive up to the shop and rent the roller again.

    I don't think people get that part of the reason the spare is in the location it is, is to absorb impact from a rear-end crash.

    So, you put it in for long trips, but take it out for short ones. That seems like a lot of wasted effort.

    +1.

    im only 5'9 tho. i like to be close to the wheel- easier to turn.
    some of my friends that are shorter than me laugh at me cuz most of em like to sit back.
