2305 & X700 Series Seat

ljrobinson · Jan 17, 2008

Does anyone know if you can adapt the delux X700 seat to fit on the 2305? If so does anyone have a picture of the 2305 with the seat on it? I would like to see it and show it to my dealer. I like the 2305 but want a better seat.

It can and has been done. Not a cheap swap, but cheaper than the air-ride seat on the 3x20 series and above.

Seems to me I saw a pic somewhere of the swapped seat. I believe it was a 2210, which of course is similar to the 2305, with the seat that should come as standard equipment. If I find the pic, I'll let you know.

I don't know if this link will work or not. I haven't ever tried to post a link.

just looking at the pics in the above mentioned thread, looks like you'd be standing on yer head trying to steer...

I have the deluxe seat on my X748SE and it is really great. It is made by Michigan seat company(says right on it). You can get one from them too but probably in black. I actually wish mine was black since it does not show the dirt as easy.

I never understood why people want to spend $500.00 on another seat when the 2305 seat is fine. Anyway I do recall someone making the switch but that was some time ago.

Mayor,

It's usually from the X crowd where they get spoiled after some seat time and when they move up they notice the difference. As you know, the seats on the 2305 are fine and the ride is certainly acceptable, but there is always someone ready to put a lazy-boy chair on theirs!

I have IBS and I am happy to pay for the suspension seat. The regular seats just jar my guts too much.

I added the X series suspension and seat to my 2210 and it is indeed a very nice improvement. My yard is rough and the seat made a big difference in comfort. The 2210/2305 tires are not all that big and taking ruts at 90 degrees and be quite a ride.
