Below is my experience thus far:

I've called up VAC and talked to them, they said that the mounts they make don't work with the bottom mount seat like this. But, I did find these that might work:

I also have HMS looking for brackets for me, possibly getting the whole assembly from Recaro. I am thinking that I might have to have a custom mount made though because the SRDs are a little wider than the speed at the shoulder, and I might need to push the seats as far to the center as possible.

Are you installing both driver and passenger? What are you doing about airbags (the OC3 turns off the passenger)?
We offer floormounts and seat belt receptacle brackets on our site that are compatible with both BMW Performance/Sportster CS seats.

1ers will get airbag and seat positioning errors if the OC3 module or coding is not performed to circumvent this.
