Hi Mark,
I have the standard STI buckets in my 02 model, I think their really good and I couldn;t justify spunking 2 g's on a set of misano's. But on the classic models, if your seats are worn or you just don;t like them, I'd say work away and spend the money. You can always take them out when your changing car and put them into your new bus
Cheers,
Cill
