Hi all
I was thinking about buying a pair for a Manx. Does anyone have experience with them? If so what are the pros and cons?
Thanks
Sonny

Those are really close in design to the Porsche 914 seats with the seat angle and width. I like the 914's because they are nice and easy to fit in a buggy. I have a set of those new style in Red for a build I will do next year. Comfortable to sit in.

Cons, a couple hours riding and I want to get out of them. Cannot recline/change the seat back angle, which is most of the fatigue for distance riding for me, (I like driving all day in my buggies).
