Wow, thanks so much for everything, I'm learning a bunch I thought I'd have to just figure out myself.

I have 0 sag right now which is nice for high speed, horrible for running over even a paperclip. I will adjust to your suggestion. I've done all my suspension for dirt bikes and raced for a long time so I understand how to adjust but that 70/30 split is gold. I had no clue.

When I take it apart I'll measure everything. I have the original owner's name so I can see what CW did to it originally, but who knows what else has been done in the meantime.

I am going to do the whole top end, check the bottom end, replace the reeds most likely, rebuild the carb from the ground up, maybe mod the air filter box a bit more as I don't like the way it sits and where the snorkel is positioned. I'll add the fan (still looking for a suitable replacement) and give the entire cooling system a flush and check the radiator. I plan to replace the battery with Lithium battery I have spare that has a lot more power and add a winch I have sitting in the garage. That's as far as I have gotten at this point in terms of the list of things to do. After all that I'll look into serious suspension changes if they are feasible.

I'll look at the seat thanks. When you say butcher it, what did you have to do? It looks tight but not horrible.

I actually used to be 5'5" before an accident on an airplane and now I'm just under 5'4" and I am just under 130 lbs (good eye!). I have broad shoulders and chest for my size but I think I understand what you mean so I'll have to look at that. Sitting in it today I can see they don't pinch at the top like I would like. I don't think they'll slip but in an accident they may not do the best job. Might require some welding to relocate some stuff or get the Teamtech ones.

Seat: I don't remember the whole process but that seat came with a slider base. That had to be removed. The actual seat itself is a suspension seat with tube frame and I had to bash it with a hammer to just narrow it a bit for clearance. Then welded on a metal plate at the bottom and bolted the whole thing in. I agree it's not bad but I don't like the height difference. I never drive this machine anyways, beerpoacher does, and he likes it better than the stock seats. I guess it's what your preference is.

Seat belts: Forget the butchering and welding. Get a strap that holds the belts together at the chest. That would be my solution. It's fast,cheap,easy. First choice would be the Teamtech if you got money. https://teamtechmotorsports.com/product ... harnesses/

Yeah gonna get the seat belts, probably spend the money on the teamtech and invest in a new hans device to be sure. Your accident is making me paranoid.

I'll have to figure out the seat. I'll take some measurements and see what else might fit. I'd like something with good lumbar support.
