Default pole position..review?

first of all, a shoutout to rick form mrmotorwerkz who installed my seat

my setup is the buddyclub rails and recoaro pole positions in that lame cloth material

about me: im about 6'1" 190lb with an athletic build (weight lifting w/ broad(ish) shoulders)

review: side bolster is fanstastic, holds me in very snug.

the curvature is something im not quite used to, unless im doing it wrong. i sit as fat back INTO the seat as possible to properly imitate the curvature of the seat itself, but i somehow feel as if my back is too far extended backwards (lol?)

rick fabricated a seatbelt mount so that the seatbelt would be more easily accesible vs stock, which with the side bolster, would basically hide the seatbelt and access to the seatbelt would be minimal

while the seat is damn low (awesome) and has great support, there are 2 concerns for me that i would like this forum to chime in on.

1. the shoulder support is really...supportive...almost as if it were made for someone MUCH thinner than me. i feel as if the supports literally push the top half of my out of the seat

2. the top of the seatbelt rubs my neck...annoyingly.

so while the support is great and intense, im just trying to figure out a way to relieve myself of these two annoyances. those who have the setup, please respond, hopefully this can help out other pole position owners in the future

Unfortunately the broad shoulder thing you're pretty screwed on. The bottom of the seat is mean for much larger people but the top half of the seat doesn't seem to be. I get that same feeling you do as if it's keeping me from sitting all the way back or if I do sit all the way back my shoulders are scrunched in. Even that being said I still love the seat.
