P1000 6 inch chop too much?

[Mopower58]

As the thread title ask, I am 6 feet tall and have the opportunity to buy a 6 inch chopped top. It is a 16 P1k-3 and was wondering if 6 inches was too low, it sure looks good .

Is it padded above the driver?

No it has a flat metal roof.

I have a feeling you’re gonna look like me driving @snuffnwhiskey rig



I’m 6’2” and my eyeline was directly middle of his front rollbar

Well I ask the owner about being 6 feet tall and he never replied, thanks for the input.

I’m 6’ and 4.5” chop is about max for me. Maybe 5”. But I have harnesses to keep me from hitting my head.

I think @joeymt33 is about 4” and I can’t drive his comfortably (my head hits his Honda plastic roof and wet sounds bar getting in and bouncing around on the trail) but he’s about your height. So 6” I think will be too much for you with a flat roof.

Most people aren't 6'2" with a 20" inseam though

Thanks guys that is what I needed to know.

I think 2" would be all I'd want. Anything less and you're getting close to hitting a helmet on the roof if you're near 6'

Exactly. I had mine marked out to cut. Then measured clearance to my helmet. 2” would leave an inch clearance. Decided it wasn’t worth the effort

If you were under 5'10"
You start beating your head and you will be mad. Especially with a helmet

Mine is 4.5 center and rear 5.5 in front and I’m 6-1 my son is 6-5. Also have speaker bar directly above the seats. No problems. I sit up on the wheel though not stiff on the back seat. Going to be pulling speakers so I wish I had gone 6”.

Yeah.. but you’re usually in a state where you can’t feel your head hitting the roof not to mention the decades of huffing paint.

I haven’t hit my head yet. I suppose if it had buckets so I wanted to sit back in the seat maybe. Steering wheel is way forward though I think most of my family drives it leaning forward
