Not with them just zip-tied to the bottom of the seat. However, the way they mount between the seat and sliders, it wouldn't be difficult for a company that makes seat brackets to make one that can accommodate the sensors, and aftermarket seats might be close enough in weight to get away with it.

There are two smaller bolts that attach each sensor to the sliders, and then one larger bolt that connects the sensor to the seat.
