3. How's the fit for a taller person with a gut? I really hope I don't have to P90X to fit in these seats.
I have a set of original (carbon reclining versions) from Bride Japan. Can't speak to the FC, but in an FD they DO rub the door panel with the seats all the way back and slightly reclined. I'm 5'10 with a 32 inch inseam, so I can get by with the seat forward a few clicks. The main thing to worry about is your waist. Mine is 34 inch and it's very snug. If you are any wider you will be uncomfortable. Also, these seats are only rated for 175 lbs or less, which rules out most of us. I DO really like them, but to be quite honest, I thought they would be considerably lighter than my stock R1 seats. NOPE. Stock R1 seats are actually a pound or two lighter (each) than these with rails attached. Just an FYI!
