too tall for my tuscan!

[lawtoni]

As per title really!
I'm not miles off at 6ft 4, but enough that it gets a bit cramped with the roof on and a bit windy with it off!

Mk2. Any obvious tricks to lower/modify the seat or seat rails? It's off to powers for a service soon, so they may be able to help.

Many thanks

Have you got standard Tuscan seats? You can remove the seat cushion on these. Might be a bit of a hard ride though.

You could modify the targa panel with a helmet bulge Sagaris style

thanks for the suggestions!
Standard Tuscan seats- if I remove the cushion my arse tries to fall between the massive gap at the back/bottom of the seat!

I guess you'd just need a tame fibreglass man.

Have you checked if you have the raised blocks under your seat rails? I'm 6'3" and have loads of room with the rails direct to the floor.

That sounds like a great shout, the previous owner was a much shorter than I am. is it obvious to see? Or do you need to remove the seats do see if there are blacks/spacers there?

many thanks

I would have to agree with this. I am 6ft 4 and don't even have the seat all the way back, pedal box on middle setting. Although I could have freakishly small legs ;-)

They just unbolt from underneath. Four nuts plus washers.
There could easily be some packing underneath for the shorter driver.
I have Tuscan seats in my Chimaera, Tuscan runners bolted to the floor, and while I am a bit shorter than you I still fit with a crash helmet on with space to spare.
If it worries you, get Dom to do it for you. Getting them back in could be fiddly, because they come with fairly long bolts (mine did), which suggests they need careful alignment to get them back in.
