Hello all,

I'm 6' 1" and I have a Intrepid Silverstone ICC shifter kart. I can fit in the kart but my legs are really scrunched up. When I want to shift down, my leg is in the way of the lever. I have to really angle my leg out just to down shift. Someone suggested getting a Extended Front Porch and that should solve my issue. I see CRG makes one but I'm not sure if it will fit on my frame. I'm open for any suggestions on this issue.

I used to race laydown enduros and never had to encounter this problem. Maybe I was ment to just do laydown shifters..... Very Happy

I would measure the distance center to center of the bottom front bumper bar and give a call to your local crg dealer and ask if it would fit. I have one on my pcr chassis and it fits like a glove.

A crg or OTK extended porch should fit if the kart uses CIK front bars
