seat position

Hey guys! I'm up to seat placement for the '34. Scooter came up with some great standards for the pedals last week. What are good guidelines for the positioning? ... head room, distance to steering wheel, distance to pedals. I'm 5'8" (average) so I'm thinking I will mount the seats at the center of the glides, for me, and allow the adjustment to go either way for other size humans.

Thanks Bob. I wanted a little more on the proper parametres. You know ... it should be __ off of the floor, your head should be __ from the ceiling etc. I did notice that my '34 seems to make the fly panel an obstackle to sight VERY soon as I slide backward.

Just put the seats where it is ergonomicly right for you. Comfort should be #1 in vision and reach.
