What crash bars are you using? I am surprised they fit over the AXP skid plate.
My Off-Road seat FINALLY showed up!
Just got back from vacation and my off-road seat finally showed up while I was away, I really like the looks of it, but it certainly has it's pro's and con's.
Pro's: Even though it is slightly taller than the stock seat, it feels much lower, especially if your sit closer to the front. I could already flat foot in the high position but with this seat is a lot more narrow in the center and feels like it will be much easier to handle the bike off-road. The stock 2 piece seat felt like I was going to fall off the back of the bike when in the high position due to the slight drop between the seats. This new seat feels much better in that aspect and has a spot for your ass to lock into. I also like the looks much better, it looks like it belongs on the bike. The stock 2 piece looked ok in the low position but the high position looked like it was cobbled together and had mismatching body lines.
Con's: This sucker is FIRM!! It's great for <200 mi trips but any further and I WILL be installing the stock seat again. It's a good thing it takes 10 seconds to swap seats out.
Final Thoughts: I'll keep it on my bike full time unless going on a long ride. It is firm, but not unbearable and I the looks and function outweigh the comfort of the stock seat for 95% of my uses. Maybe someday if it get's annoying swapping back and forth, I'll look into gutting it and adding some softer foam and heating panels. I now feel like I have a Husqvarna 890R
