    Bride Seats for a larger guy, 250lbs 6'3"?? which one?

    I am looking to buy authentic Bride Japan seats for the bnr32. I hear that Brides are built for the 130lb Asian guy. is this because they are to narrow, is it the back or bottom that would make the Bride Gias to small? and would that mean that the Stradia would fit better? any other suggestions on a bride that looks good and still fits a larger guy.
    or even another quality AM seat.

    Your best bet is to sit in them and try them out.
    Recaros tend to be a little wider than Brides.

    I had a bride VIOS III seat before. It holds me very well(140lb, 170cm) and very comfortable. However, I do not think it would fit a person over 200lbs.

    Most Bride seats will be too tight around the shoulders and hips for a guy your size. The Bride Euros fit larger frames I think.

    Look into Recaro SR3's. Brides will just cause you much pain and mental anguish.

    how about the vorga or cuga its quite a bit wider then the others

    i enquired about the Bride Vorga 2 Japan series Ultra LR with the dealer.

    what do you guys think?

    480mm wide and a much more open design.
