Ultimate seat after market fuel door.

[Magdave]

OK I have bought a Ultimate seat for my ride w/o the fuel door. The price was too good to pass but I am wondering if there is an aftermarket one I could install. I swear I read about it being done but can't find it in search.:dontknow:

What would Ultimate charge to put one in?

I called them first. No Way will they do it nor sell me the parts not sure why if I am willing to ship it to them but it is what it is.

We had Len install a gas door in our stock seats while he was still at Cowtown. You might check with Pitbull Powersports about this.

I have looked at searches and installs but none are of an Ultimate seat. Probably because most already buy one with it in it. Mine does not have that option nor is it a big deal to me I am buying for comfort not gas door. I am specifically looking for someone who got the standard Ultimate and added it. From what I have read the results and methods used to install them have been a mixed bag at best and do not want to ruin a $1000 investment if I decide to go that route. In reality either way I have to get off and my better half should probably stretch her legs too. :thumbup:

Adding a fuel access door to ANY seat, is just about the same process... The tough part :shocked:; screwing your courage on tight enough to survive cutting into a perfectly good seat with a saw!

Good Luck! :thumbup:

ULTIMATE SEAT

Dave I'm not absolutely positive but, I do believe " ULTIMATE " starts with the stock pan , and adds their padding etc.,,,,and the door they use to the best of my knowledge is not " manufactured " by them either ...they by a gas door from someone else ..............Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd if the DOOR is no big deal then why did you ask about it in the first place ????????..............................I was just trying to Help out with my suggestion .....not suggesting you had to do anything !!!!!.Mikeguyver

I have the ultimate with a fuel door, but I can't get my hand in it with enough leverage to get the cap off. I still raise the seat to fill up.

Hmmm that was one concern thanks for that input.

Just measuring my options is all I am doing. Geeze I won't have it in hand till tomorrowc:thumbup:

I have no problem at all reaching and removing/installing the cap. It was a bit tight the first go but I trimmed away all the unnecessary plastic and it has plenty of room now. I have a nice bag on my back seat so I cannot raise my seat which is why I installed the gas door.

I asked at the Ultimate booth at Spyderfest this year, and was told by the woman there that they did not sell the door by itself and that the stock seat pan wasn't thick enough to support it anyway. I wasn't real happy with her attitude when she answered ( I was stupid for even asking) so I just walked away. I haven't but I still think it is possible.

I got the same answer and same impression about her.:dontknow: So much for support AFTER the sale I guess. I highly doubt they use different pans would like to hear some confirmation from them here on the site.:thumbup:

Gas door installed[/h]

I posted some photos a week or so ago of the gas door I had installed. Here are some better photos and it works great. I had the stock seat lumbar moved back 2", added the Utopia back rest, added heat and the gas door.​
