pics-comfort seat, yoshi pipe, rear sport rack , solo seat cover, console protector

[Dwanton]

installed some new stuff

the comfort seat was easy enough to install and is very nice .

the sport rack went on first while i had the seat off -- this is a must have if you want to install a rear passanger back rest . nice thing is that under the lid is a nice small storage space that has a rubber gasket so looks to be waterproof. it comes with a pull cord thingie that goes under the seat and you pull it to take the cover off and switch to the backrest -- very easy and very secure.

the console protectors are from can am and match the carbon fiber look of the front decals in the handelbars.

the yoshimura pipe sounds great -- only problem i had was attaching the upper bracket on the pipe and getting the bolt through it -- ended up spraying some WD40 on the rubber gasket so it would let the bracket slide together easier.

the rear seat solo cover is just held on by rubber bungies -- holes are pre made into the seat , yes even the comfort seat is identical underneath as the other seat. i am just not sure i like the look yet -- might have to wait a few days and see if it grows on me.

now tomorrow i put on the two brother juice box pro -- just have to see if the two brothers map will work with the yoshi pipe.

still waiting on the trunk liner to be delivered by the big brown truck.

Your spyder looks good, but I don't know about the solo seat cover. Now after seeing your bike I know it is not for me. One question. Does your seat pop up on its own when you turn the key? Mine does now, but did not with the stock seat.

Yea I am up in the air whether I like the solo seat cover or not too.

No the seat does not just spring up - could add a spring if you want - doesn't bother me . Maybe a little adjusting and it might but I think I have everything lined up good .

Never did like the solo seat cover on when I had my bike and everyone not just me had a problem with the rubber it attaches with, it would dry out and break, had mine fall off while going down the road and also on mine the cover rubbed against my comfort seat and damaged it a little.

installed the cargo liner and juice box pro today. then cleaned her up , took her out for a blast. i am very happy with my new machine and the upgrades are great finishing touches .

i really think the cargo liner should of came with the RSS from the factory.

I still have NOT been able to sit on a Comfort Seat. Is it a LOT more comfortable than stock?
Does it move you any more forward OR higher in the seat?


Looks Great!!!

i had the RSS stitched seat and the comfort has a higher straighter backrest for the driver. its basically the same bottom and just differant cushion and cover . i like it better.

no it doesnt move you forwards or higher .

I am sorry, but I think you misunderstood me. Before the seat would not pop up, but now it does. Do you think it is out of adjustment? it only pops up about three inches, and then I lift it the rest of the way to fill the tank.

when i pop the seat I have to lift the corner and i goes up all by itself -- mine goes up as far as the strut lets it , maybe your strut is bad ?
