I bought a used regular and it seems fine. I haven't tried a slim, so I don't know if it would be any better. I'm about the same weight as you.

The slim is for really small people. I don't know if I would reccomend it.
I'm 200lbs and I tried sitting in chads slim, and my ass didn't touch the bottom of the seat, just the gas tank and the back of the seat.

I will get the regular one then.
How much will it help on my 60'?
My best so far with the stock seat is 1.58 with 17/40 gearing

There's not a specific number that it helps. It just allows you to lower your weight, and stop you from sliding on the seat.

It will probably help me as I was sliding back on the seat and it would make me wheelie.
It sucks im at 3600ft tho

I had the regular (160lbs) and had to put three layers of foam behind me to keep me forward on the seat.

The only issue I have ran into with the regular is I always slide back and hit my tailbone. Unfortunatly you are right at the cut off size IMO but I would get the regular and if its to loose add some padding.

I have the regular one come up and try it out if you want. I didnt notice and difference in 60' with it on the 14 and I don't notice a difference when I run it on the booza. I do get lower and out of the wind I feel

word to the wise...fit it carefully and shape it so it does not rub your bodywork. THEN, go one step further and use some clear or black vinyl tubing (split) on the edge of the entire seat so it does not wear into your paintwork.
