Did you check also the picture with red paddings?

Its not as comfortable as OEM seat for sure but 5 times better than regular race seat.

Biggest problems with bucket seats are that your legs are tight together so your start to sweat easily.

In this seat I can move my legs and there is two electric fans to keep the air moving with adjustable speeds. after one month I will now how it will work in action.

I have previous experience from regular bucket seat from 5 years ago. In that 400 km long trip was too much for my back. Mainly due to leg issue.

To be able to remove 100 kg I have to change and modify pretty much everything I can because the factory has made the 3L body already 150 kg lighter...
