Default Best Aftermarket Seat For Us Tall Folk

Ok so im looking for an aftermarket seat, trouble is, most ive sat in are for midgets or something. I'm 6''2 by the way and looking for something that will make me comphy and not feel all smashed together.....

i searched but couldnt find much so post up your height and what type of aftermarket seat you have as well as a small review of how comphy it is please!

pics would help

i got interested in trying to find this out because buddy club has 2 types of seats, a regular one, and a wide one...does the wide version mean its also for taller people? or is it the same size just a little wider?

the width doesnt matter cuz im skinny, but its height is what im looking for, what brand would be best suitable? and it really doesnt matter if its a bucket or reclineable just as long as its for tall folk like me!

Wide means just that. Wide lol

You need a higher backed seat for shoulder support which most likely means a wide seat, since they tend to be taller too.

Try the Corbeau Forza 2

Dude, I'm 6'4" and weigh 140. I'm thinking about a Sparco Corsa.

I've sat in the Fighter is a little wide, but the height isn't bad.

What does being white have to do with fitting in a seat? Oh, guess my huge dong gets in the way...
