That explains why you're so power crazy.

fawk!

6' tall - no way in hell gonne work.... I need at least anothe 1.5" to be acceptable with helmet.

really wanted to keep sliders in place so others can adjust seat if needed.
Side mounts are a bit too wide for original track mounting...... guess I will fab somthing.


anybody have specific solution for Corbeau FX1 pro or Sparco Fighter?
Have not tried fighter - looks for feedback PLEASE PLEASE
Well I was able to work out helmet clearance with the corbeau FX1 Pro seat. Required custom seat mount bracket and a bit of floor clearancing. Works great, took a lot of screwing around and fine tuning to get the solid seat back at a comfortable angle while providing helmet clearance.

pics are a bit hard to make out but look at the seat slider track to get the idea.

i talked to DanP about this and him beiing like 7'12 or something said he can slide his seat all the way back and clear fine w/ stock seats. Me at 6'1" would not clear. I bought some OMP seats w/ sliders and made a custom ds mount that is solid- no adjustment-had to try a few times before i got the holes in the right spot but now its perfect.
