Title: Water bottle mounts for Stratus XP
Post by goldentouch on Apr 10^th, 2010, 11:34am

I read there are 2 water bottle mounts on the Stratus seat. I have looked and felt but have not found anything. Do I need to remove the mesh to get to them? Is there a better place to mount a couple bottles maybe the handle bars?

They're there... you've got to kind of feel them behind the mesh, or you might be able to reach up into the seatback to find them. Take an X-acto knife and carefully cut access to just the hole. You can also take one of those butane fireplace lighters and "sear" the edges of the holes. I would suggest adding a couple of washers to the top bolt attachment, to angle the bottle holder away from the seat a little, so the water bottle doesn't abrade the fabric up at the top of the water bottle.

Thanks I though they might be but I couldn't feel them. I will try again tomorrow to find them. Thanks

RANS has an instructional piece on their website regarding the installation. You should be able to feel them near the bottom of the back part of the seat.

Thanks Tim pulled up the Rans web site and found the instructions. Went to the garage and found the holes. I will install them in the morning.
