KNOBBY: Sur-Ron X Tall Seat Mod

[@dr.ericvanek2818]

the look of the bike overall is perfect- seat mod, rear fender, front plate and bash guards - yeeew!

[@surronzak8154]

Here a com for ref and to thank you again, I'm in love with my seat now, I made the first with fiber glass base, was nice, swaped the battery for a bigger one so made a new seat who looks even better now.

[@GH05TR1DR]

This is awesome. I made a pit bike seat mod for my Rocky Mountain RMX, using two heavy duty industrial tube clamps and two aluminum L profiles to mount the seat to the seat post.

[@ridefarm5528]

Wow this is the best seat mod I've seen so far. This tops the racespec seat add-on.

[@KNOBBYtv]

Thanks for watching and for the positive feedback! I haven’t tried the racespec seat yet but for $40 shipped this was a great alternative that I really enjoy over the stock seat. 🤙🏽🏁🏆

@@KNOBBYtv i just ordered one on ebay, hope i can make it work like you did haha

[@tayjadster]

Awesome video. Thanks for the tip on using a YZ85 seat - just ordered mine from Amazon. Even if I mess it up for the price you can’t go wrong. I like the fact that there are countless seat covers for them as well.

[@highlineR32]

Do you have a link please? Thx

[@tayjadster]

@@highlineR32 looks like it’s currently unavailable (in Canada anyway). My install turned out better than in this video. I don’t have any straps that go over the seat. I utilized the factory seat hook at the front and left part of the tabs at the back and fastened through them and the Surron frame with a long rod and a pin. It doesn’t move around at all. The seat foam leaves a lot to be desired though. It squishes flat quickly while riding. I’m planning on replacing the foam with a complete new piece(s).

[@GH05TR1DR]

Could probably use a CRF70 seat?

[@tayjadster]

@@GH05TR1DR I’m not sure how that seat mounts. Almost anything can be modified to fit though.

[@michal_dvorak7]

Hi, amazing looking bike. Could I please ask you how you mounted the KTM plastics on surron?

[@aaronmedvedskiy1303]

Awesome video we need more of these kind of videos

[@KNOBBYtv]

Thanks for the support and watching!

[@surronzak8154]

Just tryed mine out today, works like a charm ^^ , but I couldn't find a complete seat, I just got the foam, 3 straps and it holds good. Need to work on a fiberglass base now. Thanks for the tip

[@HighEndRide]

Haha, nice man .... Where did you get that front cover (where your light should be) from ? Looks beautiful !

[@waveslave808]

I just got one on eBay, gonna give it a shot, thanks!!!!!

[@EagleBarsX]

how did you mount the front fender on the fork? simply screwed to the original mount or offset higher with a metal sheet?

[@KNOBBYtv]

I traced the holes from the original fender onto the new fender. Since these forks don’t have the traditional cross brace you don’t need to split and raise it up, you can keep it in one piece which is nice.

[@xboxice2005]

I have the seat from racespec sur ron and yeah I like it,I'm in Australia too 😀

[@KNOBBYtv]

That’s awesome! I wish they were more readily available in the States. Thanks for watching!

[@owensimpson324]

Where did u get your rear fender from mate

[@KNOBBYtv]

Google search: KTM 65cc Acerbis Front Fender. I’ve since switch to a larger 85cc fender that looks a bit more in line with the 19” front wheel.

[@wonderwook3919]

Did you have to mod the rear fender to put it on?

[@KNOBBYtv]

Yes you need to trim it to fit along the sides to connect it to the frame with zip ties and along the top so that it can bolt to the frame underneath the seat.

[@SLPAgaming99]

I wonder I am like 5'10 5'11 Would I still need a seat mod? thanks for the answer

[@KNOBBYtv]

I would say yes, not only for the additional height (as it’s a small bike) but more importantly for the improved riding position!

[@lvlack420]

i upgraded to the float seat .....its way more comfortable than the stock 1....and it raises u up a bit 2....but that extra up-front....would allow for better handling 4 sho....i also have the full belt kit....its quiet az fuk....so far so good at 1300 miles....i also installed 2 waterproof marine switches ...1 to turn the light off....1 to switch from limited to full power

Hey Great Video! Was wondering if I could get the link to the front number plate that you have on your bike? Thanks!

Very cool! Thanks so much for all the details on how you made this happen! What year yz85 would I need to get? Do you happen to have a link for where you purchased it?

[@KNOBBYtv]

I found the seat on Facebook marketplace. The listing said it was for a 2002-2014 yz85. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching! 🤙🏽

[@lemurdreamur9257]

@@KNOBBYtv yes that's exactly what I was looking for, thanks! I've been wanting something that would alow me to ride up on tank as well. Like you I find I spend a lot of time riding the very front of the seat and wishing there was a little more there when cornering.

[@lemurdreamur9257]

I just bought a new one off Amazon for $30 canadian! At least it will be a cheap experiment. Thanks again. www.amazon.ca/dp/B08CZGHPKH/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_glt_i_RSS2XRF0TCQQQAK69GW6

Do you still run this seat?

[@soneemoon8]

Thanks for the video! Do you know if this will work on a segway x160?

[@KNOBBYtv]

I believe it will as the main difference between the x160 and the x260 are the forks and wheel size. I believe the frames are the same between the x160, x260 and Sur-Ron X. Thanks for watching!

[@losttotheoutdoors]

What KTM fender is that

[@Nate.boutabag]

Is it a ktm 85 or 65 cuz I looked it up it doesn’t look like a 65 front fender and it don’t look like it will fit but then the 85 sx looks like a it will fit and I don’t want a front number plate eathier

[@KNOBBYtv]

It’s a 65cc fender. 85cc looks a bit large on the bike in my opinion.

[@bhadidea]

i’m 6’0 and i have a 250 rn and wanna get a surron i’m probably gonna do the same thing

[@KNOBBYtv]

I sold my YZ250FX last year and bought the Sur-Ron. I’ve put SO MANY more hours on the Sur-Ron being able to ride it locally and in my yard. Love the gas bikes but electric moto stealth wins. Thanks for watching!

[@KNOBBYtv]

Thanks for watching! The number plate and front fender interlock together as a set but you can still use them separately. Search up KTM 65SX front fender or number plate and you’ll find original OEM or aftermarket from Acerbis. I went with the Acerbis.
