High rise style seat. I have a Boss on my 02 800 and it is almost 6" higher than stock and it was the best change/mod I ever made to it. I didn't pay $500 bucks for it though, I paid $500 for that and an R&M mesh hood so got a heck of a deal. Look in the swapmeet section, have seen a few of them for sale. You will be kicking yourself for not getting one years ago.

Old To Modern Seat

^^^thats the EDGE gen sled...^^^ I dont think they make an aftermarket seat for my '96..?

What about one off a newer sled, how hard would it be to put it on mine?


The stock seat/gas tank combo is KILLIN' my knees! -ANY SUGGESTIONS??

A genII tank will tuck up underneath your console, and yes there are high-rise seats available to butt up to that tank. 99-00 xc tank and mounting hardware are what you're looking for. Hope you're more patient customizing your sled than you are talking about it, 'cause it will take time...

Sorry

Take the old seat to an apholstrey shop. You might need to bring them the foam and even shape it the way you want it but they can just add material and stitch it up. I would imagine most of them would be able to do it all though. I have seen several sled seats done like that for less than $200. Didn't ask who did it just seen them at the shop. Good luck

There aren't very many options other then having it re apholstered or buy a boss seat of of some one, I got one for my 98 rmk and it was a great investment

If it has a cooler under the seat then that's where you will run into problems. The hoses run under the seat and gas tank and they have a molded channe for them on the seat/tank.

We've done several of the older wedges by putting on a tunnel cooler and eliminating all the other cooler, thus the hoses that will be in your way otherwise.

-- my coolers are under the floor-boards and one way up front. I've been told mine is the "Evolved chassis" look at the pixin the first post, little different than a wedge. it is Xtra10 though --
