Yes, leather. I found a website that lists weight of these at 27 pounds. Anyone have any idea of the weight of the stock seats?

I am thinking of a set of these for my Spirit. Do you have the dimensions of the seat brackets. They list for the Hornet which should fit the Spirit but dont know. Or maybe I can adapt the seats to the Spirit tracks?

I would expect hornet and spirit seat mounting would be the same as both use mostly the same chassis.
I am so doubtful of anything fitting I bought one seat bracket for a test fit! This winter I may modify the brackets slightly to get the seat a bit lower to get a little more helmet room. |

343sharpstick (love that)...
Factory ride height? Or lowered? Can you use the lowering plate solution on the trunnion cars? Or other...? Inquiring minds want to know...!

It's lowered about an 1.5 inches I think. It's hard to tell, as I replaced the original worn springs with higher rate shorter springs. You can use lower plates, and I have some but haven't put them in yet for a variety of reasons.
I have been messing with some fabrication of some front suspension upgrade options, to get it lower and get more caster, better camber gain, and have the ability for larger tires. |
