5'8" 225# I use an XLanyone have a recommendation on size? I am 5”8”. 230lbs. Old. Short. Stalky. Pretty big calves and thighs. Little bit of a belly. Dad bod neanderthal pretty much XL on T shirts.
The Evolution looks pretty good to me. Being in Northern Cal we don't have kart shops around to try seats.
I am a complete beginner at this kart stuff. But I have raced other things all my 52 years. No stranger to racing. Just this type. We have a small bull ring track blocks from my home called Lakeport Speedway. Cant wait to give it a whirl!
I'm 5'10" and when I was 225-230lbs I used a large evolution seat. It was tight but helped cut down on moving around and weight transfer.anyone have a recommendation on size? I am 5”8”. 230lbs. Old.

XXL already coming. Hopefully will be ok! I am barely in my 36 waste jeans. Unless they stretch.5'8" 225# I use an XL
Well crap. Hopefully I can pad it up if it is too big. Cold here too. So wearing a jacket might help. We will see. If it is crazy big I will just eat another $60 an ship it back.I'm 5'10" and when I was 225-230lbs I used a large evolution seat.

I'm currently 175lbs and am using a medium modeivator seat. Again, same principle.. it holds me in tight and helps reduce unwanted weight transfer.
Got it! Makes sense.All the extra holes I. Your current seat may be where the previous owner has added weight. It’s better to add your weight to the seat, not the frame.
You can pad it up. And bulky clothes work too.Well crap. Hopefully I can pad it up if it is too big. Cold here too. So wearing a jacket might help. We will see. If it is crazy big I will just eat another $60 an ship it back.
Oh and down to 175! Damn! Good work man! I was that in high school. 33 years ago!
So basically yourBottom of that seat looks to high up into chassis tubing, to mount new, seat set kart on flat surface with no tires an wheels on, place a piece of heavy cardboard down on area where bottom of seat hits, set seat on cardboard align front notch centered with steering post 1/2' from touching post, align rear center seat spline 1/4' left of center to break rotor, block seat with wood off wolfe plate so top of seat back is 9.25 " off top of axle, mark holes drill and mount up, unrelated but since it's in the picture, if the lead weight is needed get it off the frame, move it up onto the seat, place where needed to hit set up % ages.
Good Luck !!
