I am only 6' and with an Arai helmet (the brand I found with the most clearance) I have recline the seat a little more than I would like and my helmet is still touching the headliner. I did find when I lost some weight I gained some headroom. I guess my fata$$ is taking up too much room. :lol

Bwahahahahah!!

I have an Arai as well. I could stand to lose about 20 lbs, but unfortunately I already have a bony ass, so no help there:(

...Seems seat lowering is only clean solution

I found the Gurney Bubble to be the cleanest and best solution.

So you remove the seat bottom and ship it off to Knight? or does he sell a kit of sorts to install yourself/local shop? If its a ship it away thing, how long does this usually take?

Here is my finished seat .I had the buttons sewed in and had the stitching done too.I am currently sending my seats and steering wheel to Steve to get them redone in Alcantara with the buttons and stitching.

how long does it take? Do you have to send them the whole thing or just the Seat, I am only 5'9" but it would be nice to fit in better when wearing a helmet. It should allow me to get into a better driving position.
