seat

i bought it and i like it very much. it puts me a lil further back and i don't feel like i am pushed up to the front of the bike. i was lucky can am had a demo ride at a dealer and there were two rt's there one with the stock seat and one with the comfort seat so i got to try them out

Jim,
It's pretty nice... But it does rob space from the passenger! :shocked:
That's not an issue for you and Kris...
...just sayin'...

Thanks guys. The long trip we took to Delaware last week wasn't really all that comfortable on the stock seat. I got a bad case of a$$aritis. I'm going to see if my dealer will let me test drive a Spyder with the comfort seat.

The BRP comfort seat is a better seat for me than the OEM. I replaced the OEM seat on the 2011 with the Comfort Seat. It gives more support on the bottom, and moves the driver back a little bit. The downside is that it robs a little more room from the passenger.

Compared to the OEM seat, I can ride much more comfortable and complete any ride I go on. At $599.99 it is not real cheap--but is less than some others. I would give it :thumbup::thumbup:

I took my friend's Spyder in for service last week and she has the comfort seat. I really like it a lot it is firmer than the stock seat and it suits me much better than the Corbins and Ultimates that I have sat on. I'm really thinking about getting one of them on my new machine. My dealer has had one hanging on his wall for a very long time and I'm hoping that he will make me a smokin deal on it! I know I won't have the hole cut for the backrest but I could always go with the Utopia.

Go for it. If you can talk the dealer into a deal--even better. I have my original 2010 OEM seat with a Utopia attached. Cutting the hole did not damage the seat at all. It will go back on the 2010 when I sell or trade it off. Currently has a Corbin on it.

I love mine! At 6'4" it helped a lot.

Don't know..!!

about the RT's but the comfort seat on our RS works much better for us. True the passenger area is smaller but sits a bit higher and allows the passenger to sit upright and not lean forward. Can't speak for the others but we love this one. Got it on ebay much cheaper...!! :thumbup:

If your going to get one, consider getting the 2014 model! It will fit 2010-2014 RT'S
its been redone and u can add the backrest
look at the pictures.
i hope my research is correct.

I have one and it made a real diferance in the ride and body placement on the roadster. It set you back about 2". I put a backrest on my seeat also. Far as I know BRP offers a replacement backrest for the passenger to gain back some of the lost space for the pasenger. Bob :clap:

Thanks everyone. I'm going to look at this as my next mod. Can't do it for Kris. Since she is height challenged it would put her too far back. I see TriAxis handlebars in her future. Now I just have to win the lottery, go back to work, or rob a bank.

Go for door #1. The others can have bad consequences. :roflblack:
