The 04 is a nice seat, I was lucky enough to find one at a salvage yard for 125.00 and traded my old seat in with 4500 miles on it for this one with 500 miles on. There's almost 1/2 " more cushion than the old one and I personally think it makes the sled look better. I tried to buy hole sled because there wasn't a scratch on it, but I guess they make more money parting it out.It was a really nice sled it's to bad that is what happened to it.
