Hey Johnny, ...

Some impressions for you.

I'm 5'9 ~ 200lbs 35" waist, I think longer torso and shorter leg body build.

I had stock NB2 leather seats with foamectomy and the stock sliders bolted to the floor pan in the back. Ie I cut the rear mounts out, bent the rear sliders a little and bolted them to the floor. I also had to beat in the metal seat pan and I thought it felt ok on my butt.

That setup worked ok. Fit well in the car, ok leg room and arm distance from the stock steering wheel. But pretty damn good head room. I could wear a helmet and I think just barely touch the soft top. But I couldn't wear my wallet or anything in my back pockets, it just felt uncomfortable.

And the main reason I wanted a better seat; absolutely zero body support. I'm not sure if you're familiar, but NB2 seats have a nice and high back, but for some god forsaken reason, they're only like 8" wide and it's basically just a thin back support for forward/backward motion, nothing side to side. Combine that with leather and it just plain sucks.

So that was the modified stock setup.

OMP seat is nice, box was beat to hell, one back adjuster **** was broken, other got knocked off but has enough tabs to still work. Other than that and a tiny knick in the fabric at the very top and it is a very nice piece.

So I yanked my stock seat and sliders out and just dropped the OMP seat in there to see what was what. And it was apparent right away that this seat in my case would need to be bolted to the floor.

With the back bottom of the seat on the floor, and the front bottom of the seat resting on the front mounts (which I'm sure you know are raised), the seat felt almost exactly the same as far as head position up and down, if anything, maybe a .5" lower. Which is good/ok/push as it was pretty good before, but I definitely don't want to go back up.

Secondly, the seat back is even higher that the NB2 seat which in my case, hits the roll bar in a way that doesn't allow me to recline the seat back as far as it used to. I'm thinking maybe 2 "clicks" or a half to a full inch further forward, but since the seat back seems thinner than the stock seat, it's about the same arm distance away from the steering wheel, just a little more upright. I'd say the seat is right about where I'd have it if I was at an HPDE or out cruizing the mountains or something. A little more upright and closer. But there is noticably more room behind the back of the seat and the back shelf where as before, there was pretty much none.

That said, I needed a BFH and a smallish 2x4 to massage some of the sheet metal around the seat. When I just dropped it in, it was a little side ways point forward left. So I pushed in the tunnel a little up by the front right of the seat. The seat compartment was a little tight in the back too so I cut off the adjuster on the right side of the seat with a cut off wheel, that got me about an inch, I pulled off all the plastic covers for the seats on either side as you'll never see them when the seat was mounted and it helps you see whats going on better. I still had to massage the tunnel a little on back and a little on the outside of the seat in the back because like I said, the wheel adjusters take up a good amount of room.

But other than that, it fits pretty good. My *** fits in the seat bottom really good. Like there's actually room to sit with my legs open or whatnot. And there's a million times more side support. I still need to figure out mounting it to the car and what to do about the seat belt. It's just in my case the roll bar doesn't allow it to recline very much.

Sorry for the essay. I may try to condense it a little and make a thread. But so far I am pretty content. It's definitely going to be better than what I had. It's just going to take some work. Which I imagined it would.
