6'3". Like a glove. Although I do carry the shoe horn just incase. And I do need to lean forward for the lights haha.

Two 9 hour journeys non stop both been very comfortable. Surprisingly in fact, I would add though personally I feel I'm on the limit where it could start gerrin a touch cramped.

5"11 and I too have to lean forward just to see the traffic lights lols.

Does the BYS rails rub on the carpet when sliding?"

You must be a really weird shape, leg / body ration - wise. I'm 6'2" and can still see the very top of the instrument cluster.

...no offence like!!

to the OP - I'm 6'2 and don't really have any issues. 6'5" might be a push though, but I guess it depends if his height comes from the legs, or the body.

Ditto, same height and I have to duck to see traffic lights if I'm at the front of the queue.

Going to opt for some bys rails to lower from the stock position.

Yes, the seat will rub but still allowing movement when it's on the BYS rails, so it really is as low as it will go
