The Recline frame section is different, but the back and bottom hard panels are the same for sport and standard. What color are you using? i have a pair of red 89 seats (standard) if interested

I want to convert the frame, Do away with the switches in the bolsters the air pump is already gone including the bladders. So there is not much left in the frame anyway.

Does any one have pictures of there sport frames without the seats installed? I would like to see the area in detail where the back bolster mechanism is to see if I could remove this part or parts some how? That way I could buy the std foams and covers ready to install. Please send the pictures to me. Thanks in advance!
