Lets see your aftermarket seats!

I can just see over the hood on the highest setting on touring seats, I'm 5"8, I don't think Stradia IIs are a good idea for me.......?

Thinking about ordering the Bride Stradia IIs.. anyone about 6'3 around 210lbs have them? 34-36inch waist.

Don't have them but have sat in them for some extended use.
Good seat, definitely gave me (6'4") a little bit more head room and I felt comfortable in them. Not sure I could do a 4 hour drive in them but never got to adjust them that much. I am 6'4" and 200lbs with a 34-36 waist, my bigger problem are my thighs that get a little pushed together but after sitting for awhile the seat slowly forms to you.

Bumping this thread.. Just got these in about a week ago.. Bride Vorga.

These things are super comfortable. I'm a bigger dude and can fit comfortably in these. The low bolsters mean they don't dig into your thighs on long trips or make it a pain to get in and out of the car. But they have enough good upper body supports on the sides to keep you in place.

^ Nice Brides!! You make me want to get some Brides as well..

How well do they "hug" you compared to the stock seats?

They look great

Any details on the seat rails? I'm 6'1" and need something lower or same height as the stock seats.

Better than stock on the top portion of the seat for sure.. bottom is the same pretty much.

I'm the same height and as far as I've noticed it pretty similar to stock height. The only rails that work with this seat are the Bride RO rails.

I've been too lazy to take pics, but I just got in some Sparcos. An Evo for me, and an Evo-II-US for the passenger side (to fit a wider array of instructors and riders). I've test-fitted the Evo-II-US, and can confirm it does barely fit in our car and doesn't hit the door plastics. It's tight though, and you may end up having to mod the seat belt receiver mount if you're using stock belts. I also had to mod (heat + bend) Sparco's slider handlebar to make it a little wider (it only works using the inner holes of the seat base, and for this seat you have to use the outer holes, which sets the tracks further apart), but otherwise the Sparco base + sliders + sidemounts worked for this. The Evo-III almost certainly wouldn't fit without hitting something, if it even makes it onto the base ok.

Great looking seats man, I like these as well because the lower bolsters. Are the cloth or suede/ alcantara?

Thanks for the info.

Ok, I got un-lazy about it.

The Evo (not mounted at all yet):

The Evo-II-US:

Side view of the Sparco mounting solution (base + sliders + sidemounts all from them):

Crappy picture underneath of the missing paint where I widened the slider bar (and apparently there's still some shipping plastic stuck under there heh):

Installed these a couple weeks ago, Bride Stradia II Venus Edition. Still waiting for my buddy to edit his higher quality shots, but here are a couple iPhone pics.

What is the lowest seat and rail combination?

Looking at Bride Vorga or Stradia II. I'd prefer Vorga due to the lower side bolsters (my Z is a daily), but I've noticed a user on here stating they don't give much extra headroom. Which rails are the lowest that work with these seats?

I'm 6'3" and 90kg (around 200lb). I want the lowest position possible.

I run Bride Vios III seats with Bride FO rails in mine. I'm 6'1" ~220 lbs and I fit with a helmet on. The seats are admittedly snug but not to the point of being uncomfortable. I can easily drive 4-5 hrs straight without having to stop due to being uncomfortable.
