    I got a hold of him and it was worth it. He is going to make the seat, but they are busy because they are the best.

    Will they keep the mold or whatever so they can make it for other people, or is it just a one time thing do you know

    Hopefully they do. I did check for structural integrity out on the plastics edge and it seems sound enough. We have an extra 449 around the shop and I will drop it off at Seat concepts when I get a chance.

    I always found the space under the seat was a good lifting point if I'm stuck. But I don't have a tugger strap

    Like sitting on a seat rather than a 2x4 with some upholstery added. Didn't do anything negative control wise. You can sit and no fear of monkey butt.

    Thank you for the review. I went for a 150 mile ride yesterday and about 100 miles in the stock seat was putting a hurt on my arc. I'll be placing my order today.

    Just received my seat foam and cover looks very high quality. Installing it on Saturday and will take it out for a long ride.

    Just got back from a 108 mile ride in the Santa Cruz's mountains. The new seat is perfect. It's like sitting on a Tempur-pedic!! If your looking to switch out the uncomfortable oem seat I would suggest picking up this seat!! It's easy to install and doesn't make your arc sore.
