Large Radical Seat Required

[GJW001]

New here and after a large size prosport or clubsport seat, is it ok to ask for such availability of a 2nd hand item here on the forum or is there rules against that sort of thing.

Building a clubsport for hillclimb racing here in Malta by the way!! Will put up some pics when the build is done. Changed quire a few elements so far!!

Sorry could not help myself

Well at least its a reply was thinking that the post was not showing! Yep I am quite heavy set, but when i post up the pics I am sure that the power figures and setup make up for the weight disadvantage Back to the subject at hand anyone got a seat for sale???

Knew i had seen someone saying they had a large seat. maybe drop Hamlet a pm to see if available still.

If you go to The Big R's Online Store, whereas they offer three options for the Prosport/Clubsport, you'll see only one seat is offered for the PR6 >

I've got one of those (not going spare, so not for sale), but that'll take a big chap; what I'm saying is that the i.e. this standard PR6 seat may well suit and there's likely to be a few around, because (rather than put in masses of padding/foam), quite a lot of say 75Kg-ish chaps seem to change then for a narrower Prosport one as the standard one swamps them.

Happy to take and ping you shoulder/waist/hips dims off that standard PR6 seat if it helps.

Talk about incredibly alike/three peas out of the same pod! Mind you, wouldn't imagine there could be more peas of that size in your average pod. Good on them, they look like three real happy chappies; and having seen him in the flesh once, how shall we say, somewhat different in build in Richard Petty on their patches.

Cool, we have some Radical PR6 here on the island. I will check with them!! to see if the size is good. Thanks for the advice!!!

I am glad you were not offended . In this politicly sooooo correct world it is nearly impossible to make a joke anymore . Apparently it is ok to joke about about a subject if you are member of the group you are joking about. Looking at my last digital bathroom scale reading i am definitively entiteled to have posted the picture!
I am glad you got some feedback.

Nope not offended, takes much more than that to offend me in full agreement with everything having gone a little too PC. Managed to get in touch with suggested party who has a seat now just getting together the funding! Thanks for the feedback!

So carrying on the theme. Has anyone got a small (70kg person) single seat I might borrow? I'm still struggling to get properly supportive seating in my SR3.

If not this weekend, then at the next RCC, I'd recommend sitting yourself in different PR6s to see (fully togged up) which width of single seat suits you best; I doubt they all have the same seat. IMHO, when it comes to racing and optimum lateral fit/security, perhaps understandably, the PR6/Prosport single seat is miles better than than the twin seat unit of an SR3; chalk and cheese I reckon.

Yep I agree. Just too tight (could be a member of team Tightarse) to spring for a new one without trying it out. Ideally that means borrowing one, fitting it to the SR3 and doing a weekend.
