    I just purchased a 07 pete 386 that has a wide ride low ride bostrom seat. is there any way to get the seat to go higher like a normal height of the stock seats. can the base of it be raised somehow.

    Huh..? Someone that has a Pete that doesn't want to sit on the floor looking cool :biggrin_25524: :biggrin_2559:

    Sorry, I don't think there will be any way to do this without replacing the base. Maybe you can find someone that has a comprable normal ride height seat that would be willing to swap with you.

    There should be four bolts that hold the seat to the floor. You should be able to unbolt them and put a spacer underneath to lift it up. How nice it looks depends on how much time/money you want to spend.

    If you find yourself another seat, I'd be interested in buying that low rider off ya. Been lookin everywhere for just a base so my seats can match. Also, check ebay. They have (had) a guy selling seat relocaters, they were made out of polished alum and looked real sharp. Cant remember a price though. Hope this helps ya.

    You can buy a plate from bostrum that goes between the seat and the floor to get the extra height you want

    thanks for all the info I was able to get another base plate to put the seat back to normal height.. and yeah I don't think I would look very good going low ride style when I couldn't even see over the dash.. not my style..
