trophy160 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I've recently bought a Mk 6 which has the type 30G seat. Unless I'm not adjusting it correctly, I'm finding that even with the seat in the rear/lower position my head is still in contact with the padding on the roof. I'm only 6 ft and can't believe that this can be right. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonm Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I guess I have the same drivers seat and will have a look at where it is set and where my head comes to. As to being only 6 foot.. I raised mine so I could see out. On the subject of Saracens, has anybody replaced their exhuast? I guess mine has a couple more years but I have just had to weld up a crack in it.

simonm Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I've just tried my seat and unfortunately you might be stuck with a tight fit. I'm 5 foot 6inches and have just realised that the top of my head - when the seat is forward - is about an inch below a welded nut on the roof, I think i'll be wearing a helmet from now on. When I lower the seat. This is the effect of the seat going down and back a bit, I end up with about 3 inches above my head. If you are 6 foot, I guess that's your head touching the roof. Having had the seat out recently and oiled all the movements, I know it is moving freely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophy160 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Thanks Simon, it's been suggested that perhaps I should look at the earlier seat as this also has the advantage that getting in and out of the seat is easier as well. I think I'll look into that option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
