Have an 86 trx200sx and got a new cover for it - foam shape was good and cover fit nice but foam is just way too stiff - anyone know if I'll be able to find a new seat or foam and cover for something this old? Waiting for a quote from Hi-Flight - anyone know of any other places I might try?

My dogs chewed the seat off of my Kodiak a few months back (cover and foam). I took what was left to a boat cover manufacturer that had made me boat covers for two of my boats. Not only did he put thicker vinyl covering back on it, but it feels a lot nicer as well. He charged me $80 for the foam, cover, and labor. He did an incredible job.

Swivel,
I ordered new foam and cover from Ceet for my 250r and it looks good but it's like sitting on a concrete block. A guy i ride with replaced his with high flite . I don't care for the cover at all but it is a pleasure to sit on compared to mine.
If i had to do over ( which I might anyway ) I would go with Hi Flite foam and a ceet cover. Ceet says to use only their foam but i believe it would work fine with the Hi Flite foam.
After an extended ride i feel like i have been punished with the wood at school like they used to do in the good old days.
Happy Trails

Ceet foam is nice but it is like setting on a park bench. I drilled some 1/2 in holes from the bottom up on the last foam that I got from them. Only come up about 3/4 of the way. It made it somewhat sofer, but not as soft as stock.

Dang,
I wish i woulda thought of that. I used rivets to hold the seat cover on because it is much better than staples in my opinion. I hate to remove it all now but i bet that would help some.
