I agree. I have been wanting to put the Carbide seats in ours too. Just gotta fabricate their mounting.
Out helix's seat was rotted and I replaced the bottom seat with a real piece of plywood. I happened to be at tractor supply yesterday and the helix they have had sitting outside forever also has a rotting seat. BUT...I think the purposely use a thinner piece of plywood just to give the seat some flex. Ours is now solid as can be but it will wear your rear end out after riding for a long time. Very functional but not very comfortable on the long haul.
I'd like to pick up a used Carbide with a blown engine or something to use for parts.
