leg room - seat mod?

[jbatx]

Back when I had my 80, I did the seat rail mod for more leg room. I'm considering a 200 now and at 6'7" 235, I am certain I'll want more room. Is there a similar mod to the 200 seats?

I've seen it talked about a few times over the years but never seen anyone ever actually post that they did it. I am 6'4 250 and fit way better in the 200 than any other Cruiser, so you may fit?!?! I find that if you crank the seat all the way back and then adjust the front of the seat all the way up it def helps... 80's are def a bit tight on space... Good luck

Try it out first. These rigs are more roomy than their predecessors. I think you may be surprised.

Plenty of room with the seat all the way back, there’s only one car I’ve ever driven that I didn’t have the seat all the way back on. That’s my dads brand new VW Jetta, had to come up one click to comfortably operate the clutch. I’m 6’4.

My pops is 6’10” and 300 and he fits nicely. Might not need to make a mod at all. I’m 6’5” 240 and fit well.

6'3" here, the 200 has more leg room than my 80 with manual seats (which already has more leg room than the electric seats)

Agree.
I feel like the 200 has more leg room than the 100. Not sure about the 80. I’m “only” 6’3”” but I have my seat several inches forward from the rear-most position. If you lower the rear of the seat and raise the thigh support angle, there is more that enough leg and headroom. You’ve got 4” height on me, but considering what an easy fit I am, with more than 2” of leg room and 2” of head room to spare, I think you might be pleasantly surprised.

I’m 5’6” and tons of leg room!!! Lol
This is the one time that I guess being short has its advantage.
