Reply to "550 Spyder for tall guys?"

I'm "only" 6 feet, but much of my height is in my trunk as opposed to my legs. I had the "bugs above the eyebrow" problem and discovered that it's possible to "rake" the seat by shortening the rear mounting bolts and shims and lengthening the front ones. This tilts the top of the seat back and, in my case, lowers my forehead below the windshield frame.

At the same time, raising the front of the seat could cause problems for those with longer legs in that your knees may hit the steering wheel.

It's really a trial and error process....Lot's of unbolting, cutting, bolting up, cussing, unbolting, cutting, bolting up, cussing etc...But you can experiment with different thickness of wood blocks under the seats just to see if it's feasable.
