    Seat for a fatty?

    I'm looking into getting a fixed back seat, but my name is "big" Si for a reason... any recommendations? Don't really want to spend a fortune either...

    Cheers

    Si your not that big, i dont think you will struggle buying a seat!!

    Big mike bought his motordrive seat from kinzuru autosalon if i remember right and im pretty sure he is happy with it. Motordrive aint the cheapest but they are really good seats made in uk

    I have a pair of monacos if you wanted to test them for size. I cant use them because they are huge on me!

    Ah sweet man, I'll head out with Tapp one evening if that's ok and try them on if that's ok? Are they side mounts?

    No probs mate, I think they are base mount, but I think they have universal subframes on them which could be modded

    I'm 5ft 10", 16-17st and waist 38-40". Cobra Monacos fit like a glove and I also have Sparco XLs which if anything are a little too big for me.

    I've got a Monaco S passenger seat and a Suzuka S GT drivers seat and they're both spot on.
    I'm 6"2' and 40 waist.
    Come and have a sit if you want to try them for size.

    Sparco Evo 2 Plus. Massively comfy seat, non stop journey (well fuel stops!) from Lands End to Lowestoft in mine, and I felt fine.

    I had a good look around at seats last year and went for a Sparco Evo 3. FYI the Plus on Sparco seats refers to the height, not the width of the seat IIRC...
    Incidentally, we are able to order our seats in GT (a.k.a big boy) size. Fire us an email if you're interested

    OMP Extra if you can find one, the current OMP TR-S if not. They're MUCH more comfortable than the Monaco S. You wouldn't believe the number of offers I had for mine from some of the bigger guys on here.

    Its WALTON!!!
