I am going to install a new apex seat on my RX-1. Need some height to staighten out the knees. (Gettin Old) Anyway I love the ride height on the Apex. My question is, what have ya'll done to the tailight? Use the old one? use the Apex light? Was there much fabin to make either of these choices to work? Thanks for any info! Honk

In your PM, you didnt tell me that you were going to use a Apex seat. With the Apex seat, you will have to either change the wire connections or the wire loom in the seat. You can use the Apex tail light but you will have to change the wire connectors on one end. With the earlier Nytro seat, you dont have to do any wire work.

Either way is not a bad job I like the look of the newer light if you have one. You just have to install the connector from your old seat to plug into the wiring harness at the front and the one at the rear to accept the old light. If you change the seat and use the new light you only need to change the front connector.

lookin at the install, the job looks quite simple. The new Apex seat has storage too! When cutting the plastic area, it says to take 3 and a half inchs at the middle. Do you stay at 3-1/2" all the way around, or do you just angle it down to the point area at the bottom? Thanks guys! Honk
