2016 FT3 with audio OEM seat vs BRP Cannonball seat

[Dmartin]

Hello all I purchased in May 7 this year a brand new 2016 FT3 with audio.. I love it except for 2 issues.. The belt vibration between 3900 Rpm and 4500 Rpm. But that problem is currently being working on(hope to get fix soon ie belt tensioner).. My second issued is that on long run me and wife finds that the OEM seat is not that comfortable.. ( we put 5600KM on since may 7).. I get sore pretty fast after about 1 hr or so.. Im looking in buying the BRP Cannonball seat.. Anyone of you long time rider have it? is any good? how much more padding does it have? and so on. Thank you for the help..

I tried both the Canonball seat and the Coast-to-Coast seats from BRP. For me, they felt almost identical to the stock seat. Wound up returning both after a few multi-hour rides on each. Many of us have found much better (and cheaper) options from other vendors. There's several recent threads on these seat options.
