Tall and uncomfortable

Guys, I need some serious help or suggestions. I know there are taller people out there than me riding in these things. I'm 6'5 and after about a 4 hour ride this past weekend, my knees are bruised to high hell. Is there anything I can do to modify my 2015 900 S to make it more comfy? Doors, different seats, cut something? I'll try anything to make it a more enjoyable ride because it sure is a lot more fun than any quad I've had.

Yeah, the seat is all the way back. I don't believe drilling any holes will work since it is right up against the plastics of the machine in the position it is in now. My main problem is the left knee hitting the door or where the door meets with the body. The right knee only gets beat up if I'm nice and let someone else drive. I've read where guys 6'7 ride comfortably and they must be all torso or something because I feel like a sardine in mine.

im 6'1'' 380, I had to have something cause my knee was against the bracket/bolts that hold the lower stock door on. I put the PRP door bags in cause they have a 2" thick pad on the front half for the knee. makes it 100% better.

another option is a aftermarket door. the proarmor is a little wider, and has more knee room. I haven't set in one with any other doors on it.

6'5 220 here. The Pro Armor doors give a little extra space on the side, and the Laser Tab seat lowering bases I have gave the seat a "tilt" back which increased the leg room towards the dash. I honestly have no problems with this setup. The lowering bases might be worth looking into as they are not only cheap, but keep your knees further from the dash and your melon further from that roll bar!

6'2" knee hit the pointed part of the body where the door latches. I got bases from the 800/900 put in my prp seats from my old 800 with no sliders and knee no longer hits. Maybe it sits a little lower because no slider but what ever it was I now am a lot more comfortable in the ride.

See if removing the slider option and just having the base makes a difference. Free mod. The padding options seem to be a good resolution too.
