I've thought the same thing for years. Seating in a 900 is designed for someone about 5'8". I've looked into it with a friend who is a blacksmith. It can be done, but until I get an extra seat frame to play with, I'm not going to try it, just in case.
The plan is to remove the seat back and lower pad, then remove the slide-rail from the seat base, cut an inch off the bottom of the base and weld a new mounting flange to the bottom of the seat. The clearance looks ok on the console side, but will probably require a different adjusting knob and modification of the plastic trim (87 CVT)
