Hi Volks, I am five foot eleven and a half inches tall; hardly a giant. It's just hard to see the numbers at the top of the speedo in the 85 westy. As someone said already, the seat swivel probably doesn't help. We're acquiring an aircooled parts vanagon next week, hopefully the interior will be the same color so we can pull the wheel out of it.
