Hi all, liking the idea of buying a 3 wheeler at the moment. Only problem is I am 6 ft 3 and largeish build. Will I fit?

Thanks

Probably...
Not much help I know but there is a good chance you will fit so long as the pedals are set as far back as they go to give your legs a chance and you'll want to get a spacer behind the steering wheel for some knee-room - a few Morgan dealers do them as does Demon Tweeks. A good few of the taller drivers have spacers up to about 50mm fitted.

+1 with RedThree

I'm just over 6' and a 25mm steering wheel spacer made all the difference.

The pedals are bolted in place with (I think) 4 possible positions. You would definitely need the furthest forward.

The only way to be sure is to visit a dealer and try one.

There's loads of good info on www.TalkMorgan.com

I was debating this on the 3-wheeler test thread. Give it a go but I do not fit at all. 6'4" and a large build there is simply no room for legs under the wheel (a problem in all Morgans), hip room or comfortable leg room with absoultely nowhere to put your right foot other than under the pedal from where you cannot extract it without a sharp knee/wheel interface. I was gutted but I did try. There is nothing that could be done for me except wait until old age compressed my spine and slims be down.
