There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

ADD about another $450 for both backrest. I'd like just a drivers seat and backrest. (if comfy)

That's crazy!
$200 for just one backrest! It's a bent piece of steel with padding!! Apparently they are trying to get back their engineering cost with only a few items sold.
I never understood company pricing. They have two options.....high price means they make their money back but sell fewer products...low price means they make their money back but sell more products.
More products sold means a higher market saturation through word of mouth...which means more products sold. In the long run they make much more money.

Did I miss seeing passenger pegs?...don't think they come with the Max Mount...only with Can-Am passenger seat.

Unfortunately, $200 for a back rest alone is mostly the going price for all seat stuff. I have been buying backrests as add-ons across most of my M/C's. Now into Spyders, and the same is going on. Had them on two Spyders, but same will go for the new Ultimate ones. Currently, no back rests, but have Comfort seats with the higher back on the standard versions. Accessories have always been up there in price...because they can. :roflblack: I have almost $1K in just lights on my most recent F3. Worth it? Cost wise no. Bling wise, Yes. :yes:
I already have a wish list for any new F3L. :bbq:

Typical of Slingmods, they don't give complete info. Be careful if ordering from them.

I wanted to be the first one to order the seat but ..
its longer than the max-mount and the "measuring from the passenger seat down to the driver seat is 5 - 1/2 inches" .. so I asked them if they could send me just the base-plate with the handlebars for the passenger to make a new cushion shorter and lower passenger version (like I did) .. no chance !
(there is an order number for the passenger pegs without the seat from BRP ..)
but I love the idea - maybe I find a solution till February

A short while after I put my rally "up" for the Winter (Nov 20th), I came across the Ryker Comfort Seat on sale on Amazon for $250.00. I grabbed one (only 3 left). I'll install it next Spring. I'll purchase a backrest then also, unless I find the one I want on sale before then.

An interesting side note: Amazon is always worth looking at. They mostly have EVERYTHING, and pricing is usually a little less that the companies sell the item for. If you know how to play the game, you can also get free shipping on virtually anything. Prime is NOT a requirement. We just got a new microwave and as heavy as it was, also included FREE shipping. Just like going to the store and picking it up, but ordered it from my computer.

if you look at the video-clip .. the driver sits on the Ultimate further ahead (2inch ?) because they need the space for the driver-backrest - I prefer to sit far back if I ride solo to have more grip ..
if you ride 2up its better for the suspension if the passenger sits more in the middle of the Ryker the handling in small curves is better ..
The complete Ultimate seat is longer than the max-mount ( 2-3 inch) and only fixed with one screw on the max-mount (but that's a good idea!!)
Seems the Corbin would be better for you, but still a "lip" on the back..

Actually I think the midrider is the same distance back from the pictures but it is also about 2 1/2 inches higher than the stock seat.
The 2 ultimates I had were Great and this will be hard to decide because I like the 2 seat look even though I rode alone BUT the
Corbin is formed nice and extends back 2-3 inches further. I don't care about storage. Have to see some reviews of the Ultimate?

Sadly passed away, December '23.
Maybe if enough people ask about just the rider seat version it might occur to them that there just might be a market for that.
