Default After Market Seats That Are Thinner and Lower

I'm curious about how much lower and thinner some aftermarket seats are????? I'm 6"2 and its not completely cramped inside, but it is a bit tight. Can anyone reccomend a good aftermarket seat with dimensions more suitable for taller people like myself?

Thanks a lot for any info you can give me..

If youre skinny, then there are lots of options out there. The best thing is finding the lowest rails possible. Also, be sure the seat you look at has proper height for head support. most seats company websites will give the dimentions for the height

Recaro SPG with Buddy Club low down rails will drop you about 2". If you are over 34" waist they will probably be too tight. Makes getting in and out a lot harder, but it's heaven once you are situated.

There are also aftermarket rails available that lower the stock seat.

I have about a 32 to 34 inch waist... Thanks for all the info that really helps out a lot. I'm wondering how much of a difference that Backyard Special seat rail for the stockers would make??? Anyone you know try those yet?

Thanks to everyone. That was very informative.
