Im looking for a lighter taller seat. What have you guys done?
I like the rider forward like the IQ chassis and the pro rmk seats.

I believe that's what I put on the GF's sled, the +3" model and the storage bag.

Can you get an intergraded taillight yet?

I believe BOSS seats offer an integrated taillight in their seat as an option.

CrazyFishinn, I like the custom job! looks fairly simple and much better than the low stock seat

For years I put off buying a boss seat, Now that I have one I would not ride an Edge without one. I love all the storage. I'ts a very comfortable light weight seat and your back and knees will thank you at the end of the day. For me a boss seat is a must have mod. I did sit on a WRP seat and they are very high quality and comfortable as well, they are not as light as the boss. But you cant go wrong with either. (Just get rid of the low stock one!)

3 must haves on an Edge
1. handlebar riser
2. Boss seat
3. running boards (I like WRP Boards)

The Boss seat is one of the best mods that I put on my sled

I also used a seat off of a 2012 pro. I mounted mine a little different but it works great and about half the price. Seat is level with the top of the gas tank. Much needed!

Here are the pics sorry it took so long. (i was gone sledding) :rockon:

First I took some 1" strapping and ran it around the fuel spout then stapled it to the front of the seat.(kind of like a boss seat)

Then I took the same strap and ran it to the back of the top of the post mount, wrapped it around it and pulled tight then stapled it to the seat.

After that i took two 1 1/2" plastic pipe "T"s and glued them together to make a "H" for support and put pipe caps on the ends. I then used Velcro to attach to the tunnel and seat.

For looks, I took some vinyl and stapled it to the bottom of the seat, loosened the fuel tank and tucked it under then tightened the tank. Used some more Velcro so the front won't flap or come undone.
So far so good. If you have any questions, you can PM me and i'll try to clarify.
