Thanks Dan, But that looks like it's designed for a passenger. I believe the kit I'm talking about moves the entire seat frame back as to provide more leg room.

Yeah I know....I just thought I'd post because I didn't have anything better to post. That seat move back kit is pretty rare..

It appears so but I'm not 100% sure because that's just a pic of a Honda pit bike someone snapped so I'm only assuming so from that pic. Battlescooterstore.com sells hard underseat storage units on their site but only in black.

yes, that is it. It look as it also raises the seat up quite a bit. Can you flip the brackets around to keep the seat at a similar height? Thanks for the feedback!!

From the looks of that picture you may be able to flip the rear adapter brackets upside down but I'm pretty sure you'd run into clearance issues if you tried to flip the front ones.
If you wanted your seat moved back but at the same height (or lower) then you could either modify your seat frame or use these adapters in combination with a lowered seat frame.

In my opinion, Varroa frame extension is the best option for people who like the long wheelbase look, as it keep the stock suspension geometry, however for me since i ride around town in my scooter, i like the short wheelbase better, so having a longer seat would give me the liberty of stretching on long strait rides and slide forward when i need to navigate through traffic, now i use A/C pipe foam insulator to cover the rear frame of the seat so i ride back when i can and stretch or slide forward when i need

So does anyone know where i can get the additional seat mount? i dont like the extension because i feel like it messes with the whole setup. i agree with the idea that sometimes i want to sit forwards, plus you could strap stuff to that extra seat thingy when u are not using it PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE I CAN PICK ONE UP...THANKS!

i dont like the extension because i feel like it messes with the whole setup. i agree with the idea that sometimes i want to sit forwards messes with the whole setup? what does that mean? the only thing that i had to change was the rear brake cable, whereas the throttle, electric and fuel lines are all just fine. and if i want to sit forward, i can sit so forward that my knees are hitting the battery box, and i am not tall. matter of fact, because there is so much space in front of you, you can move up forward and sit another person behind you ON THE SAME SEAT! chanito, i feel that it would be perfect for you. there is no need to modify the stock seat. two people can fit there, as long as the driver is all the way forward, which is only possible when you have enough knee space, which is possible with these brackets! no need for any additional cusion!
