An easy fix if your seat is too heavy for the gas shock
Or if the shock has failed due to age etc. … years ago I wanted my seat to open more so I got rid of the Gas Shock and re-placed it with a shaped steel rod.... Got to my bio page and then to my Albums ….pics with explanations are posted …… Mike

Great idea Mike! I added the utopia backrest and a full seat sheepskin cover on my RT however the BRP strut now can’t handle the extra weight. So It operates like a hood support being attached at one end and the other end goes into the hole you drilled in the seat pan right? Does it rattle when the seat is closed? Thanks for the idea.

It's just as easy to go to an auto parts star with the OEM prop rod, and match it up to a aftermarket one with a stiffer spring!

I used one set for 30 psi, and it worked perfectly.
(NOTE: My seat had a sheepskin seat cover, a BRP backrest, and a fuel door installed...)

Try a Suspa C16-20651. It is a 40lb. strut shock and is 2 inches longer. Got mine on Amazon. Works great.
