You'll like it a lot. Hope you got a passenger one too. Here is a different style for passenger and a center box that I put in the 817. It's nice NOT to have batteries in the way.

That one is the passenger side. I need to make sure it fits the driver side before I buy another. If it puts me to close to steering wheel, then I found a different one that is a little shorter front to back.

Yea, the distance from seat to steering wheel was not made for big people.

Are you saying you are mounting this one on the passenger side?

False advertising !!!! Not installed. I recommend all to do as I say, not as I do. Throw that thing in there and plug it in. Just don’t connect it to the brake system or you’ll need to wear a helmet.

Now that you got the passenger comfy, what about yours?
Hopefully soon! Drivers seat is not to bad. That old bench seat was horrible. I couldn't barely sit in it for 15 minutes with some cushions. Can't image riding in it for hours. The driver seat is actually not to bad. Drove from Dayton, Oh. to my house (about 7 hours) with only 2 stops. Just a little sore after that trip.

But upgrading the driver seat will be necessary, but all the work I have done over the last few weeks has set me back a few thousand. So need to wait on the seat.

Oops. Uploaded the wrong pic, now I can’t figure out how to delete it.

Ok, that bottom picture is a set of Corbeau racing seats I bought to replace the stock seat for the drive from Idaho to TX. Totally worth it, though, not quite an air ride seat. I kept them in there for a couple years. That pic was taken when I was in Houston for the Harvey evacuations.

Now those two seats, with bases sit in my garage taking up space.

Took the wife for a ride late last night. Went to get a load of straw. Was about 20 degrees out. Wife loved the ride, loved the heated seat feature! I'm really glad she was happy! Now hopefully she will want to go with me all the time. That old seat made her hurt, she said she didn't want to ride in it ever again with that old seat. Very happy I made the upgrade!

I edit most of my post's five or six times because I don't proof read what I type. Yep air ride is the only way to go. I picked up 17 Bostrom 931 air ride in Ohio/Gl. Got back to Fl. and sold them all to one collector for 400 a piece no questions asked.
That was a good trip /investment and got to see the world famous Gimpy.
