you may have trouble finding a seat location that will protect your head from the roll bar in the event of a crash. When your head snaps back into that solid bar, you are gonna have more than a headache.

I'm 6' 199 but very long waisted and as tall sitting as my 6'4.5" son. The 230 won't trouble you with standard seats...I was there 6 months ago. But do try the seats and be conscious of the roll bar behind your head. I can't locate the seat as far back as I'd like.

The 987s have a bit more room (2005-2011 models).
