John, I'm also 6'2" and seat adjustment isn't a problem because I 
fabricated a set of brackets (custom roll bar) which bolt to the frame, 
on which the bar is offset and angled to the rear.  There's a gnat's 
eyelash of clearance between the bar and the wheel arch, which leaves 
plenty of adjustment.  And as Phil mentioned, the bars are padded 
(padding must be removed to raise the top, but a small price to pay).  
If you're interested in fhaving a bar made, I can send pix.
