Pioneer 500 bucket seat install

[jay_man81]

I know a lot of you P5 owners are at least intrigued at the idea of replacing the bench seat with buckets. Well I happened to find a nice seat out of a RZR 1000 so this is what I did to install them.

500mph tape covers everything.

Kinda like asking for trouble

I did this instead of tape!

You could always cover the RZR with a NRA sticker...

Turned out very good.

Nice Jay, thought about doing that a few times myself. Others have said the same thing, that you sit higher and slightly more forward, that's why I never went for it. How do they ride? I'm sure the seat itself is more comfortable but what about position?

It does sit you forward a tad. I think if I were to trim some of the plastic like I mentioned i could move the seat backs back a couple of inches and it would match the factory position. I like it were it’s at now though so I doubt I’ll mess. The way I mounted them is only higher due o the thickness of the padding on the seat bottom, maybe an inch or two over stock. That’s not very noticeable. I went for a good ride today and got use to the position quickly.

I'm guessing that means you'd recommend the swap?

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

Oh no, you had to go and say that didn't you? Think I might look into some with a lower profile.

It is all his fault that I started considering it. Now I'm officially second in line for buying a set from another member on here. lol

Well, after some good seat time I think I will try to move the seat backs back. For me, it's not uncomfortable where they are at right now but I think most people who would want to install buckets would prefer them to be back a bit more. I'll keep you guys updated
