I've read that the '06-'11 ZX14 seat fits the C14 with some hardware switching to get the C14 hooks on the ZX14 seat.
I have some questions which would be especially helpful coming from those that currently own a C14 and a ZX14, but I'll
take any info I can get.
(1) It appears to me that the ZX14 seat (when on a ZX14) latches at the rear and at the middle and that
the one key lock releases both the rear latch and the one under the mid-seat by using two cables, is that correct?
(2) If the answer to (1) is yes, is the system fairly smooth, or is it problematic?
(3) If the answer to the first question is yes, with minimum fabrication could the ZX dual latching system be fitted to the C14 instead of using the C14 mid-seat hooks? ..or are the sub frames too different?
Well that's the meat of it, and now I'll go on to explain why I want to know. First of all I just think it appears (if I've got it right)
that the ZX14 is a better more secure system. I've put my stock seat on and there are times that I had it hooked in the front and latched at the rear and I could tell that the middle hooks didn't engage properly by the way I was able to flex the seat up in the middle. However, the other reason (the more important one) is that I want to see if I can modify a ZX14 seat into a Corbin type two piece seat. That's not exactly right, I really just want a secure front seat and to fabricate a hard mount cargo area where the passenger seat is. The ZX14 seat is so cheap and available that I could butcher up and mangle about four or five of them before I got to the price point of a used well priced 2 piece Corbin. Add to it that the ZX14 seat is lower (so I've read) and that I usually use an Airhawk cushion anyway and I'm thinking win/win.
