Anybody who has tried to jump or swap the battery on a Maverick X3 knows it's buried under the seat and a pain to reach. This Flip-Up Seat Base swaps the factory mounting for quick-release pins, so you pull two pins, tilt the seat forward and the battery is right there. As a bonus it opens up storage behind the seats and raises the seat 1.75" for a better look at the trail ahead.
Highlights
- Pin-release base lets you tilt or remove the seat in seconds
- Full, fast access to the battery
- Extra storage room behind the seats
- Raises seat height by 1.75"
- 3/16" steel, preassembled, sold in pairs
Get to the Battery Fast
Jumping a dead battery on the X3 normally turns into a small project. With this kit installed, you pull the pins, tip the seat forward, and you've got the whole battery in front of you. Jump it, swap it out, or run power wires for new accessories without wrestling the seat out of the machine.
Use the Space Behind the Seats
Every inch of storage counts in an X3. Tipping the seat forward makes it easy to tuck small bags, a first-aid kit or a few tools behind the seats instead of cramming them in. When you need them, flip the seat and grab them.
A Better View From the Seat
The base also lifts the seat 1.75". That's enough for shorter drivers and passengers to see more of the trail and react sooner, without making taller riders feel cramped against the roof.
