I just received my Ceet graphics kit and seat cover for my 300EX. I took off the stock seat cover, only to find that my foam is screwed up on the one side. So, I would like to relace my foam. The problem is that I can't find any. I e-mailed Ceet and hope to hear back from them tomorrow. Any suggestions on who to call/where to look for replacement foam? Thanks guys!

Go to an upholstery shop. My friend owns one and upholsters motorcycle and ATV seats. If one requires more foam he simply uses contact cement (compressed air) and glues layers of foam then trims the extra foam to the contour of the seat.

 

I really don't think there's an aftermarket source for just the foam...but did you try your local Honda dealer to find out if you can order an entire new seat for your 300EX? The reason I ask is because I have a friend with a 400EX who replaced his, and although I don't remember what the cost for entire seat assembly was, I do remember it wasn't all that bad a price. The only other option I can think of, is to take your existing seat to an upholstery shop, and have them replace the foam and attach your new Ceet cover.

 

Check with a shop that does upholestry work for automobiles, they should have some foam. It shouldn't cost more than $10-$20.

 

I think I saw it in the Dennis Kirk catalog? I know I did see the foam repair kits. It's like sheets of different thicknesses, that you glue to the exsisting foam to "build it up". But I also think that they sell the whole foam piece. They have a wbe site, but I don't know what it is. You could probably find it relitively easily. Good Luck

 

The upholstery shop suggestions are your best bet. Just be sure to ask for high density type foam. In fact you might want take your seat to one of them & see what they would charge to install the foam and your cover.

 

Yeah...I remember seeing the repair kit in the DK catalog. They do have a replacement seat foam, but it's only for the 250R. By the way, their web site is denniskirk.com...but they don't have their atv catalog online yet.
