      I’m like 6’ 4/6’ 5 and I fit ok I may tap my head on the roof on a big bump but really isn’t noticeable at all. Only thing I would like changed is maybe getting an aftermarket steering wheel so I can bring the wheel closer to me with how far back I have the seat but I’ve been dailying it for a while and it’s felt just fine for someone as tall as I am
