is there a source for aftermarket seats etc for non racing quads, ie to replace standard for two up and/or for on rear bar work where kids always sit anyway?

Ebay

thanks tried Ebay-unless you know a specific outlet?

But the Forum police tell me this is a no-no and I shouldnt have asked such a rude question.

Sorry to hijack this for a minute, but the forum in general is trying to promote quads as safe and the riders that use them as safe to, Too many times does the press grab a headline quads kill this or injure this person and for give me saying this but you stated you only need a quad to tow a tinnie to the beach, well I use my quad to trail ride, and the occasional enduro, So I class my self as a quad rider, where as you might class your self as fisherman who needs a quad to acheive your chosen sport... So no doubt I did offend you the other day, and for that I'm sorry, but the context in which I said I still stand by and if you feel I'm out of line, I cant change that. And here's why I am so such a stick in the mud.

do a google on this and you'll see that most of them are by people who dont respect them, use them incorrectly and dont wear helmets, so there you have it, I will protect the integrity of the users here because we ALL want the same thing

I cant see anywhere here that they werent wearing helmets, only one was two up, and obviously they were all using them "incorrectly".

Does any quads "operators manual" mention that spinning the wheels, going up "steep" inclines, modifying with aftermarket parts, replacing tyres with non standard tyres etc etc etc are acceptable practices?

But thank you for your apology, which I did not see before my post on another part of the forum to you. For some reason I didnt receive notification of activity on this topic.

some moderators just dont know when to butt out LOL (don't worry he does this regulary)

try Steve at www.ceetracing.com , they make desert seats and all types of foam moulded bike and quad seats.
