P700 Next big project coming together

[Tflynn]

well I tried to keep this to myself until the parts actually actually showed up to my house, but I can't contain myself any longer! Yesterday I ordered bucket seats for the pioneer! Plan is to make them easily removable like the stock bench and maybe add an arm rest/center console in between if there's room. Not sure when they'll get here but I'm hoping to have them installed by the New year. Anyone ever seen a 700 with buckets? I haven't but if @JACKAL could do it on a 500 I can do it on a 700!

You hinted at it awhile ago and now we are all in suspense. Show us the progress.

I will absolutely chronicle the install so hopefully other people can do the same thing. I ordered Beard Torque seats which are pretty pricey. If people don't want to drop that kind of money you can find rzr take offs on Amazon or eBay. I just couldn't bear the thought of a rzr logo on my Pioneer!

Keep good notes and pictures of the mods along the way for posterity sake. Any chance we could see a pic of what you ordered? Sounds fun T!!!

Should be a piece of cake on a 700. Good luck with the installation.

Yes they did but I'm not sure if I'll use what they sent or make something new. I want the seats to stay as low as is physically possible

Those would match the Beard belts I installed a month or so ago.

Absolutely! You know I have the same ones right?

 

[Tramguage1]

Yes, havent had to use them yet. But they will come handy in April at the Takeover.

Can't believe I'm telling you this but those would be an appreciated upgrade to my 700 for the PROTC.

Those look awesome. I too marveled at the idea of getting some of those for my 700 after seeing @JACKAL install. I'm looking forward to seeing how they come out!

And he's making notes and taking pictures so that we can have an easier install when we get ready to do ours.

I've been seriously considering this for my 1k. I'll be watching intently! I figured viny dye would fix the rzr logo problem

I was thinking a Honda patch glued over them with a super gorilla glue or other. But yeah, I'll be getting the take offs for mine at 2 bills or less, (700 or 1000, and no snickering)

 

[Tflynn]

Yes the price tag hurt pretty bad on these but I justified it the same way I justified my shocks- every second I'm riding I will feel the benefits of these seats. Just sitting on them on the floor of my living room it was amazing how comfortable they are! You guys doing PROTC (@Montecresto, @moparornocar, @Dp5hunter) should seriously be looking into at least rzr takeoffs. Serious trail riders too! Can't wait to get these installed and hit some off camber situations and see how well they hold me in place

I THINK you might even be able to find seat covers for rzr seats. Not sure though

Yeah mopar I figured you'd appreciate this. If anyone knows the difference between a seat that's meant to be sat in for 20 minutes compared to a seat meant to be sat in all day it's a truck driver (and tractor driver)!
