Renegade Hybrids will redo your stock seats: sport seats. I have them - they're comfy, fit like stock. I'm pretty tall (esp in torso) and can't do many of the options here, which take away sitting height.

Beverage of choice when you're in the area. BTW, they insist on the renegade logo, but it can be in black. |

(IMG:http://www.corbeau.com/product_images/classic_ii/black_vinyl_cloth/ClassicII-60914-F-XL.jpg) I don't have them mounted yet. They're cheaper than the others, so I may be back in a few years (you get what you pay for), but that's ok. |

They're cheaper than the others, so I may be back in a few years (you get what you pay for), but that's ok. I initially went this route, but the corbeau simply took away to much room. They were 2 inches taller than stock, and the shape of the back would not fit into the firewall recess. Even with the back pad removed, I lost another 2-4 inches in rearward travel/leg room. As far as the Renegade seats go, I am 6'2"+, 250- 275 lbs. With their short cusion option it was the only seat I tried that fit me well - and I tried a pile of them. I am long in the torso and can now easily wear my helmet with the top on. The logo is a bummer - but a minor issue in the larger scope. GTS was not even selling repos when I bought my seats - at least they were not well known. I though I had a better pic - must be on the home computer... |

Being vertically challenged (not as short as Slits (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ), I should be ok. I got them on a good deal, so if I don't like them, I should be able to turn them around. |
