Funny that, I’ve just bought a new Can Am quad bike (made by brp) which has had a recall due to a faulty power steering box. Parts aren’t available until May!

And there was me looking at a 115 Etec for my Humber.

If I remember right Duma had the small/narrow seats installed .
Are you replacing them with the wider seats ?
I find them way more comfortable than the narrow version .

I have no immediate plans to change the cushions. Priority now is to get Duma back on the water! It is a longer term idea.
