I currently have some Cobra Monaco (i think) and after a couple of hours on the motorway my ass was aching!
I'm going on the ring trip in July so i want a seat that won't be too tiring but give me the right support on track. Any suggestions?
5ft 10", 14.1/2 st.
edit - just see the thread below!

Best advice on things like this is go to somewere like demon tweeks and try a load for fit before you commit
What i find comfy you may not
Tbh a lot of buckets make your bum die after a few hours

Yes, but there is still a bench mark in comfort. Hard, soft, small sides, plastic bit that digs in, high sides, etc just after some opinions.
What size do you use and do you find them comfortable? Any opinions?

the fia holologated one is the one to get mate, thats the one i got from the b6f seat range (41cm iirc)... if you get a chance and are around my end of the world you are more than welcome to come and try mine... obviously mine is setup for my size but your a similar size to me so it may verywell suit you :)

Ive not had a problem on 500mile drives with Corbeau Forzas.
The only thing you might need to consider is getting a wide version of whatever seat you choose as youre not the size of the average cunto.

Cobra now have a pro fit range where you can get different size cushions.
As above best way is to find a shop or other people so you can try.
