So a rear seat can be used instead of the storage? The salesman at my dealership told me otherwise.

 

Heres the link to view the parts and pricing from Can Am Canada. This is to add the passenger seat. The link is for the 2013 Max Limited.

if you look some is still not available or i would of got it when i got my xmr

 

if u have a xmr you can remove rear storage and put on the rack and clip seat in and done! XMR is a fixed up MAX

 

Well not quite. When I was at the Can Am demo day I pulled the XMR up beside the Max Limited and there are two pins that are on the base plate that the seat clips to. The XMR does not have those pins. But the good news is I'm sure its not that hard to add the pins.

 

I have a 2012 XMR with the max seat. The dealer had to order the seat parts and assemble it all. It was a ton of parts, as you can tell from the 2013 diagram! I was told that BRP did that on purpose. They want to make it difficult to get. They think that the XMR is a single seater even though it is made on the max frame

Budman, I’d really like to see what your XMR looks like all put together like that, could I trouble you to post a few pics?

 

If anyone finds anywhere to get one let me know! They want a small fortune for it at the dealer. Might just go aftermarket kimpex!

 

Every now and then one might appear on Ebay. Prepare to act quick! cause your not the only one that wants that seat.

 

They are crazy expensive. Gotta buy all the parts and build. They don't Stella's an option. Liability reasons. I will have all the parts for mine soon.

 

I called my dealer to get a price on the second seat. I'll find out Monday or so. I'll post the price when I get it.

 

my dealer said the brp rep said that the seat being a new design, all the available parts are being used for the max machines and all parts will eventually be available,

 

any word on these seats?

 

u wont be able to get a seat for a few months im guessing.

 

i agree, when every dealer has a xmr on the show floor, and all the other 2013's, i think we might start to see them,

 

My dealer thinks it would be about $1600 after parts and labor to assemble.

 

Then your dealer sucks i was told around 700-900 out the door when it comes out.

 

Yeah when I get mine it will be locked down to the bike!!!

 

I was told 932.00 when i bought machine but thats for 2012 seat .priced out 2013 over 2000.00 and i have to asssemble. My dealer trying to put package together.

 

I was wondering the same thing about a rear seat for a 2013.
$2,000.00 for a seat, what a bunch $hit! :th_smiliepissed:

Hopefully there's an aftermarket one in the $400 - $500 range.

You should post some pics on the site so that everyone can see.
I'm sure there will be several people interested in your approach.

 

I found somebody willing to sell me a rear seat off a 05 400 Max does anybody know if there compatible with a 2012 XMR i don't want to pay for it and get it posted then it doesn't fit.

Cheers Twisty

 

When do the trails close for the year where you guys all live and what state do you live in??

here they close for snowmobilers

 

I was told just shy of $1000 CDN

 

Here are a few pics of the seat on the XMR before we left. Everything worked great except for the tire rubbing once the wife was added. Think a spring spacer will do the trick to fix that one. The last pic is the wife using the backrest as a pillow on one of our stops!

 

Hey! That really doesn’t look half bad! As a matter of fact, I like your overall set up with the cargo box, rail mod and fuel cans. Very sweet setup as a point vehicle!
Did you try adjusting the setting on the air shocks to compensate for the wheel rubbing?

 

I just bought a 12 XMR. Do you have the part #'s and source for the seat, rack extentions and cargo bags? That thing looks really nice.:th_smiliethumbsup:

 

I bought the seat from a one of the guys I met on here. He sold his XMR and still had the seat that he bought from the same dealer my bike came from. If you could find a deal like that, i would suggest trying it first. If not, the dealer is about the only other option I could find. I was told ~700 bucks from them. One guy in Columbia, SC said $1000. I laughed at him! The other stuff...rack extensions, cargo bag, and rotopax can all came from ATV outfitters. Those guys are great and they have very competitive prices. I recently sold a set of Zillas to a guy on craigslist and he needed some wheels. I gave him their number. He called me the next day to thank me for telling me about them. He said he ordered the wheels that afternoon around 2 and had them at his house before 9 the next morning for way cheaper than any other set of wheels he had ever bought! He said he didn't realize how bad he was being ripped off by everyone else until he bought from them! Thanks too for the complement!
The wheels and tires came from ATV Outfitters too! When I had the 10 hour service done the guy at the dealership quoted me almost $1000 bucks for S/W OL2s! He told me they were impossible to find and all sorts of other stuff. I talked to Matt the day before that and he was WAY cheaper and had plenty of tires! I love some of the "experts" at the Stealership!

 

Well i just had a win with a rear seat for my 2012 XMR I usually buy 90% of my motorcycle parts from America as It's a ton cheaper however after being quoted $1000 delivered to Australia i decided to try my local bike shop and what do you know he quoted me $479 i accepted straight away and got him to order it ASAP. I'll keep you updated if the price is right or he's made a mistake.

 

That sounds realistic and reasonable!
Hopefully the price remains the same for you.

 

Not sure about the 12's but on the 13's the MAX seat WILL WORK..should be the same though.....regardless of what the dealer tells you it WILL WORK. And you can get a MAX seat from the dealer complete for approx $600. The ONLY difference is 4 pins that hold the seat down to the quad. And if you take off the plastic cover you can actually find the right size steel bolts to go in the steel brackets already in place instead of the "pins" on the MAX. So for less than $5 you can retro fit the MAX seat to your XMR. Hope that helps.

So a 13' MAX seat will fit on a 13' XMR, except for the pins that hold it in place, which can be substituted with bolts, correct?
Might have to look on E-bay for a 13' Max seat.

Thanks for the info!
