Bad placement of "oh shit" handles in double can 2012s

this kind of speed bump

for the record i have an o shit handle on the drivers side in this 81 and hit my head on it all the time.

 

thats what im sayin

 

laughed out loud at this one. OP, never had any probs here either but then again generally only rugrats are back there

 

How do you hit your head on those? I was looking at it earlier, trying to figure it out. Do you hit your face on the steering wheel too? You'd almost have to if you hit your head on the handles.

 

Well, I think Tacoma's were meant to be sold to Mexicans in Merica. It has taco in the name. Mexican's are typically short as well. J/k!!!!!!!!

 

You are suggesting that you sir, do NOT hit your face on the steering wheel!?!?

 

You didn't have an option short enough for me on your poll. I'm 5'1." I'm so freakin short that the sun visors in my truck don't do shit to block out the sun unless I sit on a book or two or sit ramrod straight and half out of my seat like I've got a stick up my ass or something. I definitely don't have to worry about oh shit handles hitting me or anything like that.

 

Hitting head on it, not sure about that.

Bad placement for when offroading yes, or at this this is what my wife complains about all the time. She wants it centered over the passenger and drivers side window.

 

At least the available legroom in front is decent. On my old '80 something Toyota truck, I had to push the driver's seat all the way back, and I still felt cramped, and I'm only 5'10. On my current truck, the driver's seat still got room to go back.

 

I've never had a problem, but yea, like some others on here, I'm only 5'6".

 

If i remember right the BACK seats are centered..

The fronts are not very handy if youre being shook around, so i have been told. I always tell them thats why they have a seatbelt option.

 

Owner is driving.
You are complaining about the handles in the back seat... most often occupied by the owner's children.

 

No shit.

I was really looking forward to the Vulcan Voyager.

Too cramped. They moved the seat forward, nice because it gives the back seater more room (which she needs, I fabbed my own luggage rack to move my Tourpack back 4"), but while the 1700 Classic is barely tolerable, the added lower fairing on the Voyager cramps my legs.

Here I am on my 1600....


Without Ape Hangers, my knees hit the bars on full-lock turns on even the Vulcan 2000.

As much as I'd love a nice sportbike, I wouldn't be able to ride anything more sporty than an FJR1300 or maybe a Honda ST1300.
I tried riding the Kawasaki 1400 pair... The Connie wasn't horrible, but the ZX was too cramped. Still, I couldn't imagine a road trip on the Connie.

For comparison, I can flat-foot a YZ250... WITH a Guts Racing 2" taller seat foam....

 

I've never hit my head on the handles. What I have done though is ran my head into the sunglasses holder if it happens to be open and I need to lean over that way. Those corners will dig right into your skull.

 

i did that a few days ago actually..

after sitting on my sunglasses i decided to try and leave the holder open and just set them in there..

They are now back on the dash.
