Is there any weight savings with this swap?

it does save weight, viper seat doesn't suck up the water like the other. they are lighter as well as ride worse.
you can cover that area with a deluxe tank bag. They cover the entire tank.

I stumbled across the seat, bumper, and cover for $75! I think it modernizes the old dinosaur a bit

Can you show a pick of the tank with the viper seat? Is there a gap or something without changing the tank

vipers dont have the 2 loops that hook over the screws up front or the flap that covers them like the srx does. so that portion of the tank is exposed.2001srx700mod said:Can you show a pick of the tank with the viper seat? Is there a gap or something without changing the tank

I've done it to mine and it looks fine without anything covering the 2 screws. Jmo.
