    Alright guys...I'm after a new seat (again)...last time funds fell out from under me...but my seat is coming apart at the seams halfway across the back and looks like crap. Don't want a stock one...want something much more comfortable. Anyone got anything for sale?

    Would rather buy from someone here as opposed to ebay if I can.

    Also any idea on making passenger seat more comfy? My girl rides with me a lot and I haven't found any aftermarket passenger seats. Any help is much appreciated!

    Or....anyone close to western Illinois that would do a tail swap from a lightning? Might be easier to get a better seat for passenger and driver that way...since they are one piece. Just a thought.

    Are you looking for a one-piece seat?

    I have a beautiful seat from a XB9S (one piece) - not a single rip in the leather and in fantastic condition....just don't know if it would work for your application.

    It seems pretty comfy, but I think it's stock....so might not be what you're looking for.

    Have you thought about taking the seat to a local upholstery shop to get fixed? I have the seat fabric if you want to fix it yourself.

    Vice....will a one piece fit on an xb12r? I wasn't aware they did....if so that would work.

    Lawdog yeah I have but I'm looking for something more comfortable than the stock seat and it's tiny lil piece of foam.

    I bought a set of firebolt seats on ebay. The cheapest i found was $40 each. I'm going to create a custom sadleman for myself and a totally custom perch for my Babe...

    So far I just have the seats. I''l be buying some foam next week. When I get it done I'll make a thread here.

    I look forward to seeing what you accomplish seancrete. I've considered modifying my seat but don't have much knowledge in that area
