The other post is correct, if you are a tall person you might want to move your tank. I am only 5'-3" so I am good with it, nad my wife is 5'-6" she also said she was good with it. So I pull ed the seats out and drill the mounting holes for the center console, and then drop the seats back in, and sat in them once moree. They left impressions in my sound deadener, so it was easy to see the hole positions when I again removed the seats.
I drilled those holes and started bolting everthing down. takes about 2hours.
Note, with the seats slightly leaned back the head rests will touch the back glass in a BBW.
Thanks! I am just short of 5'8" so I think I'd be okay but I will set it in there to get a feel for it. I really don't want to deal with the cost of relocating the tank right now. I want to hope to think that it will be way more comfortable than the stock bench with a worn drives side seat cushioning. The old seat is also quite bouncy on the road and does nothing to hug your body.
