    Lightbulb Stock Seat for 2012 Spyder RT SE5

    Recently purchased a 2012 Spyder RT from a friend which due to his size had the original seat configuration altered. This friend and I had 2012 RTs but I sold mine a few years back but regretted doing so, so I’m back on the road, but the seat has got to go. Has anyone upgraded or changed seats and kept the original and be willing to part with it. The seat was modified to remove the saddle front and rear so he was able to slide back further. Although the seat was comfortable for him, it’s not for me. Also as an option is there any replacement cover assemblies that could be had that could just strip the old one off and utilize my original seat base assembly. Looking right now on eBay, and some were found but with shipping cost exceeding the asking prices for the seat itself. As I remember from my past experiences this site is the best place, bar none for CanAm solutions. Glad to be back.

    Thanks for the response, I too am a Blue Knight. Your location looks a little far for a day trip, can either be shipped.

    un-fortunately shipping is prohibitively expensive ....... Mike

    Made offer on eBay on one, got it cheaper than the shipping, but need is need. Thanks to those that responded. Not sure how to respond back to pm’s, keep getting message of not authorized to respond to other members, which I’ll find a way soon I hope.
