    Sargent did mine. I'm happy. As Jerry said, it was a bit over $200.

        Stock seat, was recovered by po. I have a sheepskin to go over it on long rides which helps.

        Only problem with the new cover is I think it tends to make my butt look fat.

          I have the opposite problem Ernie I was born with no ass. Oh well at least not enough to make the stock seat ok. We did a couple of hundred clicks yesterday and after an hour it is a good thing that the special needs gas cause I need off. I would think that my seat has been recovered as it is in very good shape but it sure isn't good for my sit down.

            olebiker,

            sounds like you have the same problem as Hank Hill.....namely DGS or diminished glut syndrome!

                Sorry, I meant glute.

                The disease seems to predominantly affect males and strikes the subjects usually by their mid thirties. It is a slowly progressing disease whereby an appreciable amount of body mass migrates from an area on the rear of the subject, immediately below the waist, to the frontal area just above the waist line.

                    Custom seat by Dimond, as they were the only ones I could find at the time that made a new XJ pan / seat combo. Very comfortable.
