Seat Support/ Gas Shock

[Spyder2012]

Somewhere, I read details of a replacement gas shock for the seat, which is a bit stronger and supports the seat in the up position if there is a small backpack/bag on the seat. It seems there was a lot of detail, including information as to where this could be purchased, and even a model/stock number. I have a RT, and the shock is getting weak, and with a non-factory seat (Ultimate) and the high winds I am sometimes in here in Oklahoma, looking for this information again.

Anybody have any information or who has seen that post, I would appreciate it. Seems this was an item which could be purchased at any auto supply store.

Thanks!

I have a Russel Day Long seat with factory backrest. I was given this information by another member, I bought and installed it, and it is great.:yes:

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.

Sachs SG359011

Got it on Ebay for $18
