    Default F3S Seats

    I have been researching seats and ran across new Canyon Ball seats
    on amazon. My question is, who makes them, are they considered
    comfortable and will a factory backrest fit the pilot seat?
    Thanks in advance

    Are you talking about the BRP Cannonball seat?

    Canyon Ball seats sounds like a cheap rip off for BRP Cannonball. I would be careful on this.

    Back when I was in retail, we sold real Latigo Leather handbags. Walmart and K-mart came out with genuine Latisglo handbags. They were made out of cheap imitation plastic leather.

    The name rip off seems similar here. Caveat Emptor

    x 2. Could not find any specific reference to Canyon Ball seats. Did see Cannonball from BRP though. A misspelling...???

    Ah Crap, fat fingers and a fatter brain on my part. Cannonball is the correct name.
    My apologies.

    So your answers are -

    1) BRP

    2) I have just had mine converted to a Daylong (as opposed to a Draylong), as it was squirm city after 40 minutes......but everyone is different....what suits one won't suit another.

    3) The factory backrest will fit the Cannonball seat.

    If you can get one to try from your dealer for at least an hour, do that before buying.
