    I just told him close to the same thing. Proton grew on me. At first I thought bumble bee and once I saw one in person....if the VX did not already stand out...a Proton screams. I love my Ironman....but I would not mind a kaiser and proton to compliment it.

    Most popular = mundane middle of the road nothing special

    Proton even the name screams for attention (as opposed to medical procedure done on men in their 40s)

    Astral is just the color that is liked or accepted by the mass majority. Marketing wise it makes the most sense to produce more of a more likeable color...

    My 2 cents: I would truly like to own at least 7 colors, you know one for each day of the week. Or for whatever mood I'm in. Such as Proton when I'm feeling outstanding, Ironman speaks for it's self, Ebony when I'm feeling bad (as in bad_ss),Dragon when I feel like a Martial Artist, Foxfire when I feel like a little wine (and dancin), Kaiser for when I'm feeling in charge (as in "Der Kaiser has spoken") and Astral when I'm being an Astral.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    Saga continues.... need rear seats, seat locks broken.

    I double post this if the mods don't mind.

    I just found out my rear seats wont lock into riding place due to a broken assembly on the rear passenger seat, and the wont lock into the "folded" position due to a broken nylon locking strap. Advice please? Replace both rear seats? Replace just that passenger side rear seat which contains both the seat lock and strap? Or is it possilble to replace just the locking mechanism on the passenger rear seat and its nylon strap?

    My guess is I need at least a replacement passenger rear side seat. with working lock and strap. Suggestions and sources of parts please?

    The locking flange on the floor appears to be OK.

    GRIF--- You forgot the last and very best option regarding your rear seat delima.

    REMOVE your back seat and deposit it in the nearest commercial-sized dumpster!!!

    Most of us VX owner's here have already removed our back seat and have merely saved it in storage in case we ever sell the VX someday. You will have tons of more cargo room with it removed. Unless you have kids to haul around, YANK IT OUT.
