WOW talk about cheap!!! The most important thing, how are the details? Can you push on the top part of the seat without braking it (i'm a fattie ) and how is the thread?

yup, but most seats on fleabay are like that. that way they don't have to pay such high fees.

Try to use the brackets from your stock seats.

have you tried your power drill on the brackets yet? if the bracket gives you enough room new holes might be all you need.

EDIT: if this doesn't work easy brackets can always be done with 1/8" mild steal ibeams. shouldn't run you more than 30 bucks for the pair, just make sure you get the right drill bits to make your holes. ;-)
