Default Donor seats

I am looking at using donor seats in my Sportster build reading the threads here it seems as though the MX3 and BMW Z3 are the only options without modifying the car. Are there any other alternatives that anyone knows about?


Cheers

S2000 seats might work

Suzuki Cappuccino seats fit the Cabrio without modification so should fit the Sportster. They are not that easy to find but do come up on ebay, I bought a pair for about £90.00, which were in good original condition, I bought them with the intention of having them recovered in leather.

This is what they look like when they have been done properly.

Thanks for the reply!
I drive a cappuccino at the moment so I should have guessed! I love the seats and they are really comfortable but you are right, they are really hard to source (I have my eyes peeled). Any other ideas?

Cheers

John
