Title: seat wanted
Post by: holyfighter117 on August 30, 2011, 04:00:54 PM
hey all,
     I finally have a little extra money to put towards my bike. i bought it on a good deal but it needs a little TLC.
     the seat is torn up pretty bad. i have been using black duct tape to hold it together. (told you it was torn up bad).
    i was wanting a seat in good condition. stock is fine. just one with no tears is what i would like. thanks!

Not to rain on any potential seller's parade but...

Hows the foam on the seat?  If the foam is in good condition, you could probably recover the thing pretty cheaply.  I think there's a tutorial around here somewhere.  Then you could go with grippier vinyl or a different color as well.

Just an idea.

oh yes. you can definitely recover and even re-foam. 1/4" staples, staple gun, all-sport marine vinyl, spray glue or whatever you have around, and foam
