replacement seat cover

[Slamfire]

Hi everyone,
just wondering where to go to get a stock replacement seat cover for my 97? The stock vinyl is worn and altho there are no holes yet, I want to get one before it wears thought to my seat foam.

ps on hot days the seat gets realy sicky:damn angry: which I understand, is the vinyl breaking down:bang head:

A new front section seat cover can be bought new from Yamaha:

The middle section cover is here:

And the Rear seat cover is here:

Or you could talk to Sean Morley (one2dmax) or Rick (twistedmax) and see if either has any used seat covers in good shape.

OR, I have a nice selection of good used OEM covers. If you wanted to pay shipping we could even exchange cores and save you the effort of installing them. That won't help with your comfort much since most people get one of our reshaped seats.

I figured you might, that's why I told him to contact you.

OR , I should be able to beat anyone's price on a factory cover and can do the cover swap and slightly modify the foam for added comfort. Or there's always the ultimate in comfort..........the Maxgasser

Twistedmax sorta beat me to the punch, for the cost of three covers, you could have seat that has been modded and recovered, no effort on your part and stapling on a fresh cover ain't foolproof. Selling your old seat and your well on your way towards an all new Maxgasser or a redone seat.
If you ride distances or regularly, I'd seriously look into a better seat.

did you ever get your seat?

Hey guys! I went on the cheap for now (can't afford a new seat). Any tips you could provide for installing the new covers would be great. Also, I have figured out how to remove the center seat, with the hex bolt that attach them? They don't seem to want to come out and I don't want to wreck them. I have the stock 85 3 piece setup.

To reinstall the cover you'll benifit form a heat box and a pneumatic stapler

I redid a stock seat cover on my '85 back around 1988.. it's pain in the ass but doable. Have 6 beers on ice for when you finish. You're gonna need them.
