I now have a wonderfully working single pipe (glass pack) on my RX-1M (thanks Kachess). I'm contemplating building seat support brackets or a very stout storage box to go under the back of the seat.
I have seen a mryiad of wonderful ideas on how to do this but I'm still at a loss as what is the best option. I would like a slightly taller seat and I now have a couple blocks under the center of the seat to do so but, now the back of the seat is is higher and it just makes me slide forward after a while.
I have considered buying a taller seat with storage built into it and selling my stock seat. Is there one type of reasonably priced seat that works better than the others for this application? I see Kachess has used Skidoo seats and that may very well be a good way to go. I also see TJs sells a real nice seat but my sled is an 03 and spending $600 on a seat doesn't seem to make sense.
So what do you guys suggest?

Powergrazer, wow what a concept. I like it.
We used to make seats like that back in the 70s to go under our Skidoo seats.
What kind of price is on something like this?

Lee, the Apex seat is a night and day difference! You can find them for like $250. They sit you up higher, are firmer and hold an entire survival pack in the trunk. Unfortunately, they are about the same weight though. Maybe a little lighter! You have to be willing to pay to get the lightweight that fits and looks right.

Like Aaron said they cost but, It is lighter!!
I talked to Rick he was a big help and lots of info. 1 800-470-2442.
He had told me $599.00 just about the same as every body else's but with a ton!! of storage!! (no pun intended!)

Nice seat but there's the $600 I was trying to avoid.
I'm looking forward to Kachess pointing me in the right direction on a Summit seat.

I think I found the seat I'd really like to have. Here's a link.
I like the one with the blue piping in the middle (since I have a blue sled)

Pro - I did not rejet, although it seems to be running rich, I can usually count on a backfire pop when I shut it off. I have not checked the plugs yet, but it is on the list, I would rather have it too rich than too lean.

I too have Kachess's under tunnel glass pack and didn't rejet. I also am running the ECP filter kit on my sled. It has never idled so smoothly or pulled so hard in the mid range.

I have a boss higrise seat that I will be selling in a few weeks.
$500 and it's got less than 500 miles on it.
