raising the seat help

[800PowerFanatic]

So my dad has an 03 edge 600 and he has a werid back and the height of the seat is to low and hurts his back so he can't ride very long. He does not want to spend hundreds on a boss seat. Has anyone made a block or somehting to raise the seat up 2 -3 inches?

Go to Hardcore Sledder and do a search for XC seat riser

I used a seat off of a 2012 pro rmk. with a little modification, it works great and doesn't look to bad.

A friend of mine needs to do this to his old 2001 EDGE-800 XC

Can you post a pic please?

Thanks

Here are the pics sorry it took so long. (i was gone sledding)

First I took some 1" strapping and ran it around the fuel spout then stapled it to the front of the seat.(kind of like a boss seat)

Then I took the same strap and ran it to the back of the top of the post mount, wrapped it around it and pulled tight then stapled it to the seat.

After that i took two 1 1/2" plastic pipe "T"s and glued them together to make a "H" for support and put pipe caps on the ends. I then used Velcro to attach to the tunnel and seat.

For looks, I took some vinyl and stapled it to the bottom of the seat, loosened the fuel tank and tucked it under then tightened the tank. Used some more Velcro so the front won't flap or come undone.
So far so good. If you have any questions, you can PM me and i'll try to clarify.
