Seat Jack

Anyone else run one of these? Pretty nice unit. Has hand warmers and a helmet plug in.

Yep

Yep

Do the hand warmers get hot enough?

Never been the passenger

where did you buy it ?

Bought from Travis. Barn of Parts. I usually check with him first if he offers something.

I think the warmers work well but haven’t used them personally and we did not ride for long and or in real cold weather. I will say I think the seat is almost perfect but my passengers feel a little uneasy. I feel like the handles need to be slightly more inward and really feel like the seat needs to be about 2-3” forward to make the passenger feel more secure. That would actually take some moderate fab or a new bottom bracket piece to be made.

Seat came from Shadetree on eBay, mounting brackets from Amazon.

I have the Cat version on 2 sleds, they are very nice kits.

I didn't like how far back it was either so I moved it 3" forward. Didn't take much. Just moved the spools forward and clearanced the mounting bracket a little. Looks better and she more comfortable closer to me. The tunnel bag still fits.

Looks good. So you just cut the lower bracket? Guess I have another project.

I marked it and used a 40 grit flap wheel to grind the area away and make it look original. Little primer on that edge and some wrinkle black and all good. I moved it exactly 3 inches forward and it fits perfect.

I know old post, but i recently mounted this on my 22 sidewinder 137". I did move it 2" forward from the template. It takes a bit to get it line up with the storage bag on the sled but doable after doing it once or twice. I seen in another post on here, cant find it now though, that the little square tabs on the outside distort the sticker on either side of the tunnel. At first I did not notice but after a couple weeks of being on the sled I can see the sticker starting to pull away and slightly twist. I think someone else posted somewhere that they used a sharp knife and cut out the shape of the square mounting block. Kind of hate to cut it but looks crappy the way it is.
