The Clutch linkage looks like a go as does the seat. I have around 5.5" of headroom without a helmet to the headliner so with helmet I should fit and be below the top of the cage tubing.

The lowered seating position has me thinking of reworking my pedals to give a more horizontal action to them. For now I'll just move forward with getting the seat mounted and the steering column in and then make a decision on that. It actually has me considering a footwell pedal assembly.

I snapped some crappy pictures to keep GW happy.

I have always thought if you just powder coat an aluminum Kirkey seat a flat black color it would look pretty slick. Just food for thought.
