Just got done with my homemade snow eliminators, and a homemade secondary uppper steering bushing. When I get the sled back together I'll post some pics of the seat, bars, hood mod, and suspension drop. Yea you guessed it, they're all homemade. Just check out my name and you'll figure it out.

Don't laugh. Made this in my shop, milled some mounting brackets for it. Covered in foam and low temp vinyl. Very lightweight. Road it all last year, loved it. Not recommended for jumpers.

My buddy used a snowboard and cut it down, put padding on it and built a couple of brackets similar to the dragon seat support. If I can get some pic's I will post them.

So here is my homemade seat, along with the bars, hood, suspension drop, gutted foot beds, and the secondary upper steering bracket. No jokes about the seat resembling anything freestyle. I don't hang off the seat doing any superman jumps. The sled rarely gets into the air.
