Seating layout in an SR4

[bpikeuk]

Hi all

Got my eye on an SR4 with a Jockey console, however this arrangement is not ideal for my situation. I have 3 kids from 6 to 12 and at least 2 of them have no chance of reaching the floor from a jockey seat.

My idea is to take out the existing seating and install a console with a built in seat at the front and a narrow bench seat behind. I understand that this is not an ideal setup for heavy weather.

My main worry is that the SR4 may not be quite big enough for this.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Barry

How about a double jockey console upfront and a bench seat behind for the two younger kids, then you can still go out in rough weather if you want to.

or... get a 5.4 searider then you can just stick a bench seat behind the console.

I thought we could just spitball ideas?
although i have seen a jockey console with a wooden bench at the back. not sure if it was a single or double console though...

I suspected not, on account of how there isn't room to drop yer pants on a SR4

We can, and I do, but it's nice to let newbies know that you are doing just that...

This is what I mean - a fuzzier, but nonetheless USEFUL contribution.

This is almost exactly what I had in mind for layout, but with the console a bit further forward as there is no chain locker to worry about.

I appreciate that this is a 4.5 not a 4. I hope that I could get the console forward another 250mm and accept the the back of the bench will be a bit closer to the motor.

Practical ?

Thanks,

I doubt it. You might be better considering one with the four back to back seats (called porn seats on here) as the RIB will be cheaper to buy (like for like). If it doesn't work out, you can convert to another seating config anyway.
