Re: b1 seat

I like the general shape, but it's a bit too short for my taste.

Re: b1 seat

Ditto on that. It's cool but it's too short. Props on doing something though.

Re: b1 seat

I like it. It'll be good for racing too. If you ever ridden a blaster without the seat you will find out how much more you can whip it around. I will be doing one like that.

Here's one from the X. looks like about the same lenght

lol, same color, same owner lol

Re: b1 seat

Got your text earlier with the picture.

I love it! I have owned a few blasters and every time I have rode them I always wanted to just take a hacksaw and cut the seat off. The seats are next to pointless on those skis..if you are riding them you hardly ever sit down anyways!

Good job man!

Re: b1 seat

Did you trim down alot of foam? did you cover over the turf?

Re: b1 seat

vshockey.. how offten do you sit down? i find my self hardly never sitting down.

the stock seat is 4 peices the fiberglass part that covers the battery and holds the seat down the white peice that the cover is stapled to and 2 peices of foam one white hard and one brown soft.

mine has a reinforced fiberglass base thats sealed **** so i could have stoped at the base of the back. but i wanted some padding. took some foam and shaved it down to where i wanted the base at then took soft foam and put on top then sanded that down. but i left the turf on there witch i probally shoudl have taken off but couldnt cause it would have foam out. and all that work i did before out the door. so i covered over top the hardest part figureing how to hold the seat cover down on the fiberglass part. but a buddy that owns a custom fabric shop walked me threw how to do it. and it turned out nice
