Hah, I just got in from installing mine and was going to start a thread with the same complaint. There was a 11/16" gap between the tank and the seat. I pretty disappointed. There was no way that such a major purchase should look so bad, even if they are just about ride and weight would it really kill them to try their best in all areas including fit/looks? Either way I got out the router and the dremel tool and routed 3/4" of foam out. Now it fits pretty well, however I noticed in the process of taking the foam out that the fabric around the zipper is fraying away everywhere and getting caught in the zipper. Also they put there velcro on so far to the outside that it can be seen sticking out when you look at the sled from the side. Finally, the #^%$^$ $40 LED tail light. I bought this option because I was assuming that for that price the wiring would just plug into the factory tail light plug and avoid hacking and slashing my wiring and being able to unplug the seat to remove it. WRONG. Since the fit is obviously an issue for all their customers, why wouldn't they just reset their CNC machine to a more accurate sizing to give their customers a better fit product (plus it would weigh even less with the extra foam removed if they want to claim that they only care about weight, haha), or do to their lack of competition, do they even care? Anyway, I am pretty disappointed with what you get out of BOSS for $500 (a.k.a. pretty much a full week of work), but I wanted a seat that was easier to stand up from and more rider forward and unfortunately that is my only option. Hopefully it at least lasts...
The only difference between the two are the two screws on top of the srx tank that the seat loops too. Other than that I am sure they are identical in size and shape.
