30yearoldjunk Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi All,I just bought a '77 DM685, and being a pretty big ol' boy, I'm wondering if there is a really thin seat back available to give me a little more room. Any other ways to give me a little more room? Increasing miles per calorie (weight loss) is off the table.Cheers,Zane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack just don't have the room for big guys. I had a buddy we called "BIG RED" he used to have a permanent mark in his shirt from the steering wheel, the seat only goes so far back.

I use my belly to hold the steering wheel so I can drink my chocolate milk shake, and text friends while driving.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
