Hi-Flite already has a seat kit for it. They also make a desert seat that is 2" thicker which should REALLY help since that atv has like an inch of padding in the seat! They will make them in all kinds of patterns and colors as well.

I post this every time someone asks about the 250, so everybody's probably getting tired of hearing it, BUT with the stock tires I feel that the bike pushes (understeers) pretty badly!! Plus, it is a little on the tippy side. I solved both of these easily with a tire change to Holeshots front and rear, and wider (ITP 9X9) rims. I have to say that I am very pleased with the bike after making the tire change. This bike is perfect for beginner adults or intermediate kids, as long as the rider isn't real large.

I put the stock tires back on the other day, and I have to say that I have changed my original opinion on why the bike pushes. At first I thought it was because the front tires are slipping. But now, I think it is because the rear tires DON'T SLIP. You can't easily break the rear free to slide in a turn, so the front tires just plow!!

www.hi-flite.com is the web site. You can get the phone number off the home page. I am getting my 250EX tomorrow and will order the seat soon after that.
