yes,

Maybe i can help you on the helmet room thing.

you can remove the seat springs and create another inch of clearance.

But if you are oddly built as I am, a helment is still a compromise and the
style of helmet might have to be changed.

I'm 5'11 and about 1/2, yet my inseam is only 30", so my top half is (
rough math , because it's not really this size, but you get the idea ) 41.5"

If that number were 38-40" for you, then maybe not such a problem.

i.e., if you are 72" tall, but blessed with long legs of say 34", then your
"Sit Number" might be 38"
