    Ya, Sparco QRT-L is def not for a daily. It’s a total PITA to get in/out of.
    To be clear, I meant the spg xl was a terrible seat for street use.

      Was up at BMW Restored Seats (https://instagram.com/bmwrestoredseats) on Friday and Joni had a genuine set of CSL seats in the shop (they are for sale). Couple of observations:
      - side by side with a pole position they are very similar. Shape is slightly different at the top.
      - the foam in the CSL is awesome. Dense memory foam in the bolsters feels amazing.
      - I still prefer the Sportster CS as a practical street seat
      - the suede on the seats is a little shaggy, definitely thicker than alcantara.

            Have to disagree there but I guess it depends on one's body type and shape.

            The profi SPG is much more snug and a track only seat IMHO.

            On the PP, the upper back portion of the shell curves forward which I find super uncomfortable with the lack of lumbar support on that seat. It's also more loose (wide).

            I daily CSL seats and find them excellent and superior to both SPG and PP.

              I agree. The biggest thing for me is the ability to use a normal seat belt with the CSL vs the SPG's which isn't nearly as comfortable (pokes you if you put the belt through the seat holes) or safe (if you wrap the belt over the top of the seat). Since the CSLs are a million dollars the Cobra Nogaro are the ticket for me.
