Coolant Tank/ Seat Hold Down Clip
Well, I guess old age is setting in! Yesterday after riding like a 20 year old I was getting off the quad and caught my boot on the front edge of the seat. Yes my body doesn't move like it used to! A warning to you youngins! Well when my boot caught the seat it broke the clip off the coolant tank that holds the front of the seat down. Looked the tank up on Can Am's parts site and it's only $30 for a replacement tank so I took a sigh of relief. It looks like the "clip" is just plastic welded to the tank and not molded as one piece. Any one ever had this piece break before? I do have a plastic welder but I'm a little leery of trying to melt it back on as far as alignment and more damage. In the meantime I got a few pieces of the ever handy duct tape holding it down! Ugly but functional.

Look into BCS I think they have then front seat post you're needing.
BCS FRONT SEAT MOUNT [BCS-003-1021] - $39.99 :: BCS Performance - ATV Performance
I don't know if it will work and it's little expensive compared to the coolant tank but won't happen again.

Moose has got it right. Although, honestly, if I were you I would look for some cheaper on eBay. BCS can be a little expensive when buying something new but used are almost cut off of the price. That's just my opinion though.
