My wife just bought a 2014 RT Limited and wants to get the seat that is 2" farther back.
Where can we get one at a good price?

BRP offers a comfort seat, that places you 2" further back. :thumbup:
It sounds like the perfect match! :D
i don't know if your going to find one 2 inches back. i had the comfort seat on both my spyders, and they were about 1 1/2 inches and loved them
Ultimate offers their Tall-Boy version, that moves you back a full two inches... :thumbup:
I also went with the comfort seat and am quite happy with it. There are several out there and new ones coming out as the spyder gets more popular and the prices are varied but high. Would all depend on the budget I guess. We need a saddle store where we can test the seats out there...:roflblack:
i agree i found it more comfy
The Ultimate Tall Boy moves you back 1 1/2 inches, not 2 inches.

Russell Day Long, will custom build for you and rider. Had the wife's raised so she could see over me and had mine moved 1 inch forward. Not cheap but the best never is. My 3rd seat from them. safe riding!
Just found out that our local dealer offers a 15% discount on Can Am parts through the Costco Auto Discount Program!
Yippee.....that will save us $99.00 right there. :2thumbs:
I have tried Corbin, and BRP Comfort. Have the Comfort on both my current rides. The 2" setback, lumbar padding, all work so much better than the OEM "mush" version. At $600 ballpark, it is about half the price of other aftermarket seats. I like that also.
Both Bob and Cuzn have you covered. :yes:
I like the ultimate tall boy but if you want the BRP comfort seat they have it on sale,I believe it is less then 500.00.I no longer have the email BRP sent me about the spring sale,check with your dealer
I don't know where you live in So Cal, but in Ventura there is an excellent custom seat maker. Bob Mayer Seats (BMS). I had both passenger and rider seats rebuilt and the Can Am adjustable backrest repadded and recovered by them and are very satisfied with the results. I think the total was about fifteen hundred for all the work. For that you get a seat built to your exact measurements and comfort. You take a day and do multiple test rides as they fit the seat to your butt a little at a time. To me it's well worth the extra money for the quality.
where did you find that ad ? --irv
does anyone know about increased passenger comfort or only for driver?
thats what i had heard .need to find one to have us both sit on.
hate to lose the backrest. that also takes passenger room.
When I put the Ultimate Tallboy on I was concerned about passenger room. She did lose a little but say she is still plenty comfortable and thats with Tallboy plus backrest. I saw other lets say larger people on the back and they said they were ok too. So I would think unless the passenger is extremely large you should be fine - but always best to try if you can. On the Ultimate the passenger backrest is more cut/sculpted to make up for some of the lost room as well.
Sadly, passenger comfort is not included with any of the aftermarket seats. The passenger usually gets a 2nd Class or Economy class version of the seating. All the manufacturers are missing the boat there. Some are better than others, but it is a crap shoot--IMO.
In 2012, I finally bought Linda her very own :spyder2: to drive because after 10,000 passenger miles, we just could not endure it any more.
I Have to disagree with you on the statement about (passenger comfort is not included with any of the aftermarket seats) If it is built by Russel it is built for both Driver and Passenger for both height and weight. Sure one can buy cheaper seats but then there are so many that have bought them and sold them for half price because they did not fill the bill. There may be a few out there that didn't like the Day-Long but that is one seat that I have never seen for sale because it was not comfortable.
