Do I see that you already ground off your mounting nuts on the supports?

Do I see that you already ground off your mounting nuts on the supports?
M
Agreed, but is that deterioration due to UV or just age? I was mostly speaking concerning the UV rays, I would assume most would cover the sled or have it inside when its not being used.
We need some snow.. Monte cristo was showing some decent asphalt a few weeks ago on the road... BLAH! up top was just mediocre..
I live 6 miles from snow basin, and that mountain is looking pretty rough.. PLEASE SNOW!
M
No not yet, the corner of the seat hides them.. I am going to take them off, and powder coat them yellow here soon.. I have to use my powder coating unit for something..
S
Both.
You're right, I don't mind that one bit....
J
Funny, I live right at the bottom of Ogden Canyon right close to ya. Powder coating huh? Want to do my supports black?:face-icon-small-hap
Got another ride on the seat and I am really LOVING IT!!

Like the looks of my Boss Better
X2 open sides where snow can cram in and freeze up adding icy weight maybe not much but still, looks incomplete, and ugly. thinkin of making one like that out of a cardboard box and foam. sorry boss seats much more appealing,
I like the narrowness of the seat. I had a BOSS on my sled for all of about 3 minutes. Sat on it twice, called a tech over to sit on it, took it off, put it in the showroom and sold it the next week.
I disliked the width of the BOSS, something that WRP has addressed by the look of the pictures. I narrowed my stock X seat because even it was too wide. And the bag is definitely growing on me, especially when I remember that the only storage I have is on my back.
Looks are a secondary thought for me, even though I voiced my opinion on the look of the bag from earlier, it's a function thing before looks for me. Opening the side of the tank and the cross members is not a big deal. AT ALL. It doesn't look like my sleds will be getting much if any miles on them this season so any upgrades have been put on the shelf, but if I was going hard like last winter, I would absolutely order one of these to at least put into my hands and see for myself what I thought of them.
Product looks good and I bet it functions even better. Congrats on another great product WRP!

We will have to go riding then...
I will do your supports for you.. Give me some time to modify my double ovens in the shop to one large oven so the long stuff will fit, then we will knock it out.. I have some good hot coat gloss black powder..

Forgot to mention the side flap on the bag is mounted with Velcro on the side of the tank so it should keep the snow out..

I like it
I'm all about the weight savings. Seems like you could save a bit more weight if you took another 4" off the back of the seat. I like the seat, I don't mind seeing the framework or the tank, not a big deal. Keep up the r and d.

Its funny you mention that, we tried like hell to make it as short as possible but we had to somehow conceal the coolant lines at the rear.
Thanks for the input.

Looks good Mighty. I am loving my seat as well. Get many compliments on it.
If you are serious about some black powder coat on my supports I would take you up on it.
Give me an idea of cost so I can try to line it up. PM me if you would like.
Great product Marc- I need to grind off the bolts on the sides of my supports and clean it up a bit. I don't imagine a stock seat will ever be going back on it. Good Riddance!!
M
So are you going to go ride it this weekend?
J
Yes sir!! You been out to show that new PRO who's boss yet??
M
Yeah Ill do it for you, I have my long oven set up almost complete, no need to pay me, but when im ready to do it for you, just make sure you have some one sand blast it for you.. Im gonna do mine yellow this weekend, so ill let you know how it all works.
Got a long ride in yesterday over by the back side of powder mountain.. I cant say enough good things about this seat.. I have used the bag to its capacity already ,I couldn't imagine not having one.
