    What SWB seat will give me the most head room?

    I would like to change my standard seat with one that gives better support, but I´m a pretty tall guy and need some advice. No seats around where I live, so don´t have a chance to try any of the alternatives.

    The seat I like the best is the early Recaro racing bucket. Will this seat "steal" head room??? I´m 1,92 cm. How about with? I´m not fat, but 1,92 and 100 kilos is a bit bigger than the race drives back in the days



    Thanks,

    Radmund

    You will have a hard time fitting into one of these old Recaros.

    Maybe you would like to look at the BF Torino Rallye:

    Or maybe also the RS Cup offered by RSL:

    Both of these seats are not the lightest due to a sturdy steel frame but you are not lightweigth either!

    Headroom largely depends on the seat mounts. Modifications are possible to lower the seat.
    Keep up the speed!
