I'm looking for a nice substitute to the horribly non-bolstered seats in my 2011 MCS. All suggestions welcomed.

Or you can just pick up some EVO X Recaros and fab up some brackets like I did

 

Was it difficult fabricating brackets p8ntbollr?

Acctually was it cheaper then the JCW or just the regular Sportster CS seats?

 

or maybe fit some rx8 r3 recaros

 

^ aren't those as much as the JCW seats? They look awesome though. I bet the stock leather RX8 seats would look and ride great compared to stockies but I would be a little worried about the airbag part. The power buttons and sliders are pretty easy to retrofit but the MINIs are so delicate when it comes to airbags.

 

Yes. It was a royal PITA. But luckily Id rather hurt my @$$ then my wallet. lol
And yes, Craigslist special + mine and my neighbors welding and engineering skills = about 1/3 the cost of the JCW seats FOR THE PAIR.
And yes, those are literally the exact same seats so it probably wouldnt be too difficult to mount those up-but good luck finding a set and if you can, youre probably going to have to pay pretty close to the JCW seats.

 

Man those look good! I was thinking on just getting the jcw driver seat and thats it, but idk if that would look good
