That I need to lose weight? Is it just me or do the XR+ seats sag as you ride? Is there a way to prevent your :moon: from touching ground as you ride? I noticed this in my last bug also....maybe 200 lbs is too big? :lol:

pull the back straps tight and also tighten up the side straps and that will lift you up but then the side rail starts to feel a bit low .

tighten up those straps light weight

I ride that old buggy of yours and yes the side straps did chronically slip. I fixed it by putting a elastic hair band on each one to hold the tails to the tensioned strap.

They are a little harder to tighten now, but they rarely loosen so it is no problem.

What they said. 205lbs....same ride, same problem. Cinching the straps fixed my problem. (except for in really tall grass)

loosing weight is cheaper, but a new seat is easier. A bigger bug is even easier.:lol:
Glad I bought Stephan's bug at NABX, nice to have butt room :bigok:

You need to build a costom buggy to fit you only! And make it heavy and ugly then no one will try to borrow it from you!!

If I had any clue at all about welding, I would probably try to do just that :lol:
