Finally got the 99+ brackets, shampooed and vacuumed before installing them. Looks right at home :)

Picked up couple .79 clearance bike bags at the store to keep the 35k stock seats in good shape.

Also switched out the 82" too big Gatorback, for a K080810HD Gates green stripe. Hope it doesn't need a retune since I recently found dust and think might of had lil bit a slip on the dyno with wrong size belt.

If you were having belt slip on the dyno your tuner should have identified it right away as it is very apparent!

Seat look great, how do they feel?

Lather up those OE seats with leather treatment and keep in a climate controlled environment. Hit 'em again with leather treatment a couple of times a year.

Yea he didn't say anything about slippage but I know the tension was loose enough to cause minor belt dust I found on the hood.

Thanks! The seats are great, I've had them for years but didn't have a use for them until I bought my 04' last May and recently purchase both brackets and installed this past weekend.

They feel great, as do the factory seats. Driver seat is MUCH lighter. I wonder how much weight saving you get total with similar aftermarket seats and a typical rear seat delete kit?

Hmmmm I've been wanted to buy these in Red. Can't make up my mind between CR1 and LG1 but I think I like the CR1's better.

I don't know exact weight but like I said, the driver is significantly less without the motor, etc

Edit: I'd guess and say ~40lbs total weight savings for the front seats

Think they are comfortable enough for daily driver use?
