Very nice work. I too am pretty tall (6'6") and actualy find the head room quite good so you must be around my height or taller.
I want to keep the stock seats and am trying to think of ways to lower the seat and push back further. |

I am 6'5 but I have a big head so that maybe part of it. You maybe able to move the rails rearward but the front seats look pretty close to the rear seats as it is. I don't think you're going to be able lower it anymore unless you can find a way to hard mount it. |

I figure it is going to be hard work to change the seat position short of: - removing rear seats - remodelling rear seats to make them a bit smaller (they are basically useless anyway) - modifying the rails slightly - smaller steering wheel Not a major issue as I am quite comfortable in it and will only run into any drama when going to the track and wearing my helmet. Not mad keen on spending a fortune on an aftermarket seat to only benefit me an inch at best. |

Love the look of the wheels on the orange. I think the orange really suits a multi (10+) spoke design in a silver or light grey (NOT CHROME! ). Are you thinking of plasti-dipping these? Also, what size are these wheels and how much heavier? |

I thought about powder coating them but didn't want to wait to put them on (patience is a virtue I do not possess). I'd love them in a hyper black, but not sure how that would work. |

Hyper black could work really well, sort of a cooled magma to go with the hot lava
