tru, there have been plenty of posts on this, the last one i posted how to properly tighten the bolts down in order to keep the seat from squirming under hard acceleration and braking. since all the holes don't line up when you mount the EK rails to the Sol seats, "START" all of the bolts by kinda tweaking the rails a hair to get the bolts in. then tighten them down in this order.

FRONT OUTSIDE, FRONT INSIDE, REAR OUTSIDE, REAR INSIDE

also make sure you perfectly bend the wire underneath so its not too tight or too lose.

switch the rails. when i did this, my sol seats had 3 studs for nuts.. and the rails had 2 holes, so i had to drill another hole for the middle stud.

drilling??? woah, that shouldn't be neccessary (sp?). there are two 3 bolts total that hold the EK rails on the sol seats... 2 on the bottom, and 1 on the backrest.

I JUST DID THIS 2 DAYS AGO!!!

Here's the deal.

You need to dissasemble both seats all the way down to the seatback portion and the butt cushion portion. Swap the WHOLE EK assembly onto the Sol seats and voila. If you need any help PM me!

stick with the del sols

the swap is very easy,
1)unbolt the rails (3 bolts per side apprx) off the ek seats.
2)unbolt the rails off the del sol seats.
3)bolt the ek rails to the del sol seats, one rail only uses 2 bolts not three like on the ek, obviously the one that you can't bolt is the one that dosen't bolt.
4) drink

i'm pretty sure their very similar, most Honda seat parts are interchangeable.

Friend had leather GSR seats and hated them, too hot in summer, too cold in winter, too slippery in curves (no hug)... He changed to the del sols after about a year...

my only complaint is the thigh/leg bulsters are a bit small...
