RS seat question

[Baphomet]

I was at our local dealership today and was checking out the 2012 RS models. I have a 2010 RS SE5 and I noticed that the seat on the 2012 is a much better design then the 2010 I have (I don't know about 2011 because I never seen them).

My question is quit simple. Will the seat off a 2012 RS work on my 2010 RS out of the box, or would I have to do some modifications to make it work?

By the way, I did a search of the forum with the "seat" tag and I cannot tell this question has ever been asked.

probably yes

i don't have anything to base that on other they always have been. i have a 09 seat on my 08. did you sit on the 12 seat? was it more comfortable, or just look better? maybe somebody can supply a pic.opcorn:

Thanks coz. It is more comfortable and looks different as well. This got me to thinking that it might be the same seat only it now comes with a different skin. I'm just not sure. I was at the dealership today (after I started this thread) and the service manager told me he'd sell me a take off from a 2012 when he gets one. He told me it should just bolt on to my 2010 but he didn't know for sure. I think for now I'll just wait on the take off and see how it works out.

2012 seat

keep us posted on the 2012 seat. some folks will always upgrade , other folks ( like me) will buy their take off seats, if they're comfortable. :thumbup:

Chances are excellent that it would since BRP sells the Comfort Seat as an option for RS/GS models 2008-2012 without change. The Comfort Seat is a full seat replacement not a skin so it stands to reason that any BRP RS/GS seat would fit on any year RS/GS.

I installed a Comfort Seat on my 2011 RS and the installation was simple enough. If you have any concerns just ask a dealer or inspect the hinge mechanism on a 2012 to see if it's the same as yours. I'm almost certain that it is.
