The seat mounting solution in that thread looks pretty similar to the brey krause R-9292.
Personally, I'd just code the seat occupancy sensor off. It'll cost more to keep than you'll save in non blown airbags in a crash (which is isn't only function-- not blowing an airbag in a crash if nobody is in the seat), so silly to try to preserve it.

I think the Recaros with a side airbag option are limited to certain models only, right? Like the Sportster CS?
And I agree that it does not make financial sense to try and retrofit the OC3 mat - especially because you'll never know whether it is properly functioning until you need it. Even with the coding, though, I'd never let anyone sit in an aftermarket passenger seat because the airbag will always inflate full-force irrespective of the passenger's weight. It's just asking for trouble, IMO, but I understand everyone has different risk tolerances.
