Only a couple posts down:

Short answer, its not easy, it requires custom fabbing brackets, and the wiring is different so you would have to get creative and cut and splice wires.

Are you just trying to get a bigger passenger seat? My girl hated the stock seat. I bought the custom passenger seat and she loves it. It is thicker, softer and bigger. The thing she liked the most, was the extra legroom. Her legs used to cramp up really bad. I like it a lot better, because her ample chest is not resting on my lower back anymore.

If this is not what you are looking for, I just wasted all my time typing this and I was no help at all.

I have the custom seats and yes they are much better,
but I am looking for a little more room for my son to squirm about.
I can also get the back rest and "oh crap" bar as shown in the pics.
That is more my motivation.
BTW steve: Exactly what I want.

thanks guys.. now to investigate the cost..
