Seat gas strut

[Fatcycledaddy]

On my 2015 RTL I added a factory drivers backrest. The gas strut will not hold up the seat and backrest when I get fuel. I want to replace the strut with a stronger one but can't find the rating of the factory strut. Does anyone know what pound rating the factory strut is?

If you take your strut to a well-stocked auto parts store; it should be easy to match it up to one with a bit more "oomph" to it.
There have been several threads in here that list part numbers for acceptable replacements. Take a walk on the "wild side", with the Search button...

I got this one. It is a lot stronger and almost pushes the seat up on it's own when you unlock the seat.
I have the Utopia backrest as well.
It is also a little longer so the seat goes up higher which I like.

Used the search button as I always do and most of the threads were about stock replacements, didn't find a single one listing the pound rating as I asked.
You must have a super button and ex ray eyes if you found it.
