Better steering wheel reach

Postby South Rock Sailor on Sat, 19 Aug 2023 6:12 +0000

Does anyone know if there is a way to get better steering wheel reach on this model? I have it currently as close to me as it can go but it isn’t enough. I’m 5ft 11 inches and can get my legs comfy but not the arms and it plays havoc on longer trips. I wondered about a new extended wheel boss but am open to thoughts of others. I just find the pedal and leg distance to arm ratio not quite right on these trucks.

Agree totally, thought I'd just have to put up with it, if there's a chance of a fix I'm definitely open to the mod. Keen to see any responses.

I think there aren’t many things I would change about mine but the wheel reach is one so I would be delighted to find someone who could come up with a fix or boss as I reckon there is a real hidden market for it.

Other bits that annoy me are how bad the dipped main beams are and how darned bright the full beam warning light is on the dash. It’s brighter than the beam! Also some lumbar support would be welcome.

Any engineers on here fancy giving it a go and launching a boss for the UK market for the current Invincibke X model??
