The Jegs seat is porky. It weighs the same as my stock seat with the power adjuster. I was disappointed when it arrived but I have had full on lightweight race seats in one of my cars and I can,t live with it for more than a quarter mile.
Mounting is a fun game of cutting and welding as well.
I actually chopped the stock mounting tabs off the power seat bracket and welded them to the sliders that came with the seat. It works.
Its a quality seat for as cheap as it is but if your wanting something light then I wouldn,t buy the GS-1. It is more comfy to sit in for 20 to 30 minutes than a Kirkey is.

I figured it would be a porker. Guess a pair of Kirkeys will be on order once I move back to the mainland! I've ridden cross country in one of my old Z's with a Kirkey, I guess my tush fits it just right, I didnt mind too much. I'd like to recline, but something about the rollbar stops that, hmmm... Thanks for the info on it.

Kirkeys look nothing like the GS-1. They are a true "race" piece, I would love to have one but I am 250 lbs and I have never been able to tolerate a true racein g seat for too long.
Its ironic really, I have no power steering, no heat or AC, and I have no overdrive transmission but I refuse to compromise when it comes to my ***.
