Looks good! Too bad I'm having a hard time getting a feel for how my seat would look on the '99 XC5, I have the earlier style IQ seat, the one that goes all the way down to the tunnel:
Still looking for a gas tank before I can go through with it.
How well does the tank fit inside the console? Any other issues you had with the swap?
It wasnt too bad. I dont have how to pics but i will in 2 weeks. its not bolted down yet or anything just set in there to see how it looks and feels. we have to make a bracket to hold down the front part of the gas tank so thats why its not bolted down yet.

does not look very comfy, but you probably don't do a lot of sitting with those risers.

Yeah mine had the pump in it, but mine is different. its like a screw cap type thing. you can see what it looks like in the diagram.

I used a plumbing rubber cap from menards with a clamp around it to plug it. it fit right over it
Looks good I was actually thinking of doing either that or a pro x2 seat to my 99 but I'm glad u posted that now I at least know what it would look like!
I like the idea of something different and the transition from standind to sitting and vice versa should be much easier. The higher cg will take away from handling on the twisties but it looks as though your not worried about that. The Monster graphics are a matter of preference. I wonder how blue graphics would have looked on the gas tank. The overall look is a good one IMO. Nice job. I'll be looking forward to your how to posts.
Thanks guys! It feels like a new sled sitting on it now. As far as the monster I like it cuz its not the typical green lol and they were 2.50 so I figured why not add some spice to the tank. And the snowflap was the only one I really liked.
Yeah haha my track ripped apart the last ride last season. We put the tank on amd everything first to see how it looked. Putting a new track on in 2 weeks.

Hey Muscle, can I get a measurement from you? I need the distance from the steering hoop to the cross-over coolant hose.
