seat upgrade

19 Hundo · Feb 21, 2011

I would like to change the seat so i can put a bag under it, however i can not find a boss seat for my 06. I did come across someone that said to remove the plastic that is under the seat and do the 07 upgrade. Anyone done this? If so where can i get the parts??

I upgraded to the 07 seat on mine. Yeah, I have been meaning to get the underseat bag as well - just have not gotten around to it yet. I actually have the Polaris shovel bag on the back of it now. Fits right up the existing fuel tank - just had to drill some holes for the rear seat support.

Those should be all service parts that a Polaris dealer should be able to get for you.

I attached a few photos.

thanks man...Looks like i will need to relocate the taillight as well. Anyone know where to get the part online. Im not a real big fan of our super clicky polaris dealer here.

Found the metal seat bracket online that some off a 07 rmk dragon. Does anyone know if that will work?? It appears that the seat is bolted to the bar, does the stock 06 seat already have these holes. I would run to the garage and look but im a 1000 miles away.

I ended up using the stock tail light actually. It attaches right the tunnel - so I just kept it on there are removed all of the plastic that was on the tunnel from the factory. Every little bit of weight savings for that freight-train.

I dont think the stock seat has the mounts for the 07 rear support bracket. Unfortunately, I dont have my stock seat anymore (sold it at Haydays).

The 07's actually came with a tail light assembly that bolts to that seat bracket. That is certainly another option as well.

yes that seat bracket will work, you will have to peel the seat cover back and put a plate there over the holes on the stock seat...and run a bolt up from the seat bracket into the plates, then staple your seat cover back on.

i have a underseat bag if you are interested in buying it...i think i have 2 of them for sure...

sorry meant, underseat BAG..lol. its for the 07 dragon seats..

you will have to buy the seat used or new, but not worth it...make your seat accept the seat post, its not that big of a deal...better start learning how o do your own work if you own a 900...

theres a thread on this already...not gonna get into it again.

Get a 07 + seat post assembly install some rivet nuts or do as Z-man described and bolt everything together

It's very simple to do.
Search "Rivet Nut" in Polaris:900 section

I think that was Guido. Easy enough to do rivet nuts as you describe, don't even need to remove the cover.

Hey Sean, will a shovel fit in those bags? Might be a good way to carry a shovel on the sled so you don't have to dig it out of your pack when you get stuck if it does.

monster715 · Feb 23, 2011

Sean......I know I am relatively new to the 900 forum here - but I am starting to notice a bit of a trend. From what everyone says on here - it appears that you get stuck and hit things alot......LOL

Thats OK Buddy. If you're NOT getting stuck or hitting things - you must not be trying hard enough........:rockon:
