So I've been doing a lot of thinking. My buggy is an older pro tech frame, and is extremely narrow on the inside. So narrow that poly seats won't fit, I have to run fiberglass. This picture kinda show how narrow it is

So heres the question. Should I center my pedals and steering wheel, and movwe my shifter and steering brakes and just turn it into a kinda wide single seater? It would be much more comfortable because I could fit a nice fat suspension seat into it then, and be kinda tucked in when I roll it. Vote on the poll and let me know what you think. Thanks guys

Do you have access to a two seater as well? If not I say leave it. For me... the fun part about the buggy is locking someone in the passenger seat and making them scream like a little girl :twisted:

No other buggy right now. I do plan to build an invader style buggy someday, but right now my wife doesnt really ride with me, and I usually ride with a group, so my passenger seat is empty

I prefer to have a passanger myself. And the only thing you will gain making it a single seater is a little elbow room. You wont get any weight savings without changing the frame. It's also nice to have some spare seats in the group when someone breaks down.

x2 I have a SS and enjoy riding my 2 seater more with a passenger. The SS is ok but i still like my 2 seater.

If it gave you the weight loss of a true SS I'd be more inclined to say do it.

Sorry I shoyuld have specficed. I'm not doing it hoping for the performance of a normal single seater. I'm just sick of being beat to death by my seats, I'm a bigger guy (6'1", 250 lbs, size 36 waist) and these fiberglass seats dont fit my ass very well. So I'm just doing it for more elbow room and a much bigger, comfier seat. I'll move the cooler inside, so it wont be wasted space.
