Why not have your old one redone?? I know some places that make some good stuff and some way over the top stuff!! NOT KIDDING! Any good upholstery shop can do a re-cover. Or what i have done is take the cover off the seat. Take the cover to a good shop of my choice and have it copied. And in whatever finish i desire, Then i take it home and do it myself. A little tricky but definitely not hard though. Hell you could get the fabric and a staple gun and the cover made for that price! or here is a friends of friends shop. Makes crazy lighted seats!!!!!  Here is a shift boot i made for my truck.    Try yourself and next time you have the tools and experience to do a little better next time. | ||

I got a weird story to share about X1 seats. My original seat is pretty well broken down after lots of fun miles. I bought a seat that was unused, just sitting on someone's shelf. It was in mint shape and it fir just fine. After installing it, I found it was hard as a rock. Like punishing hard. It looked exactly like mine but was a rock. I ended up just putting my original seat back on. Do seats harden up with disuse? | ||

Do seats harden up with disuse? Can't really answer that one, but I do remember some variation in X1 seat 'firmness' even with the Pro Series seats with the colored piping. On the 2 X1 test bikes that tested the blue header for the X1W, we put a Pro Series seat on each bike. One was cushy, one was firmer. Over simplifying things, seat foam is pretty much like the foam in place shipping foam - a two part mixture of chemicals. If sufficient process controls are not put in place, the results tend to have significant variation. Considering personal preferences what seems like a rock to you, might be exactly what someone else finds just right... 1313 |
