Will changing the seat to the bucket seat save some weight? or just pure stupidness?? Anyway should i get someone install the seat for me or should I do it myself?

Depends on the seat you go with. There are buckets out there that are about 11 pounds, vs the stock what 25-35?Do you really need someone to take 4 bolts off, and put them back on? Seriously?

seriously, unless you don't know how to use a wrench... then I guess hire someone

but its not rocket science. And the reason why people get bucket seats is for more holding support, not for saving weight. It's probably a difference for like 10lbs at most... its not gonna make much of a difference in weight really
