well let me be the first to show off my new VTT/XR+ Special

after....

The new siderails allow for a deeper more secure seat. I'm sure any of you that have the XR+ have felt like you might get yanked over those siderails once you get good and powed up. These definitely put you deeper in the pocket. Also the front gives your legs a little more room. You are not crammed in the buggy if you are a bigger guy. I imagine this set-up would do wonders for a PL BigFoot. Night and Day difference....!!!

Thanks Van !!!!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::wee::wee::wee:

Looks sweet! Going to make it better for long runs as well! See you soon!

Chad - 18-8-2011 at 06:22 AM

Very sweet! did you use the old PL seat or is that a custom VTT seat?
It looks like you have more back support in the picture!

cheezycheese - 18-8-2011 at 06:36 AM

Recognize this buggy Chad..? Used to be yours... That's a VTT seat as well. I highly recommend this kit to anyone who wants to BEEF up their PL buggy !!!:bigok:

great!! it got there in one piece ..haha.. looks good with you on it. It's basically an XR+ with rails and seat from my Cricket buggy. I'm glad you like it.

Chad - 18-8-2011 at 07:23 AM

How much does a kit like that cost? Thanks

bobalooie57 - 18-8-2011 at 10:18 AM

That looks comfy! I wonder if that mod would work with the Comp Std? It looks like there might be room to hang my NAPKA numbers from that!

van - 18-8-2011 at 12:19 PM

That was my first kit so haven't exactly gotten a firm price yet. All I know is, it's gonna be cheaper right now than later when I realize I'm working for free .. haha .. if anyone is interestsed, u2u me.

WELDNGOD - 18-8-2011 at 01:58 PM

Movin' on up! Marc . nice mod:thumbup:

Great job Van.

bobalooie57 - 18-8-2011 at 06:25 PM

Dayum, Van, I was just looking at your slideshow of your cricket xl, and thinking, with a kit like that, the comp could be a spare! WOW!!

Looks great, I would love to take it for a spin.

Any chance at FBF or Wildwood?

Nice mods. VTT has good stuff cant wait to demo one next month maybe.

Windstruck - 12-3-2016 at 06:00 PM

Got my PL BigFoot+ with VTT rail and seat upgrade kit with spoked Sysmic rims out for her maiden voyage today. Fun session. I never realized how uncomfortable my stock BF seat was until I rode in style today. Holly mackerel, what an upgrade! More comfortable in every way, back support (who knew I needed it?) locked in feel side to side, easier ingress and egress, the whole shootin' match!

Thanks for a fine job Van; love my new ride! :thumbup:

cheezycheese - 13-3-2016 at 09:00 AM

I had the first one... :D IIRC Van didn't think these would sell... :o

aronma - 13-3-2016 at 06:36 PM

Saweeeet ride!

Demoknight - 14-3-2016 at 01:59 PM

I bought my VTT XR+ rail kit and rear axle from Van, and after the first time out on it I called him back to fab up a custom down tube and front fork for me as well. My entire buggy is a custom mid-size low rider from Van. I get so many compliments on my buggy all the time. I know part of that has to do with the sweet bright yellow powder coat I had done to it, but the design is really well thought out, and makes a head turner and a beach burner of a buggy. People seem to love to compliment it, but they rarely want to actually ride in it even when I offer to let them take it for a few laps.
