Grp seats

Hello,

I am looking for some Grp seats for my VM seventy seven.

I am looking for narrow type seats as i am 152 lbs, and i want more support then the Cobra Roadster 7 that i have now.
The seat is complete flat, so a bit uncomfortable as your legs hover around.
I am looking for Triton JKcomposites or another brand that I forgot.

I have searched the forum and found out that de cheaper 150 poundish a pair shoud be avoided.

i have emailed Triton and JK over a week ago but both don't answer that fast. I am from holland and I don't speak englisch that wel :-(. So emailing is the best for me, so i can use google translate :-).

can anyone give advise on what seat is best (stiffest) and what options are possible? 5 point harnass, backside finish, carbon head rest finish etc.

hope te hear from you

greetz

Arnold

Yes I also noticed these, but never sat in them. I did try tritons and jk's in friends kitcars, and found the tritons a little better and seemed stiffer.
Also the mk indy sest looks similar, hope to try these somewere soon.

Can spent my money only once, so i prefer looking around longer and find the right seat for me.

Btw looks like the seat is a bit short, 600 mm. Thats almost 100 less then tritons, and 200 then jk's. Isnt that to short for the legs? I am 187 cm.

All i can say is we have had customers of 6ft 4" use these seats and had no issues,

They are about the same dimensions as the mk seat,

In a 7 you sit so close to the floor you don't get much knee support on any seat as you sit very flat.

Best of luck though and try out each seat, any questions happy to help
