did mine last night, just slot the bottom holes..there are other mods to do.
redrill the bottom fender holes for the brackets, trim right fender brace cause
exhaust hits it, raise airbox in the back with 3 washers cause it will hit the swinger
on big hits
I lowered mine .75"....set quad up on stand, take a measurement from axle to
point above, take bottom subframe bolts out and lower accordingly, don't slot
the holes too much!

yes the seat latched just fine, it turned out real good.
I never imagined how much this helped this quad out, I don't feel
like I'm hanging over the bars now, lol
and just the .75" drop makes it look alot more, can't wait to ride it
and my next investment may have to be a +1 stem

friend of mine just informed me that I should install a tab in front to catch the seat better, it may come loose in a race.
the seat latches fine but there's a small gap in that area, not much though

I have had multiple problems during a race with my seat coming off when I stand up. One time it came off and got hit by 3 guys behind me.

Another thing I done was replaced those torx
head bolts in the subframe with flanged bolts,
a lot easier to work with
