Hi John ,
Ok , you changed my mind ..I'll box it up and ship it back !!
I have a king and queen seat that fits kinda odd in the back part .
But I can keep using it till I get another nice seat...
I like the original look best ...

I stumbled upon a NOS seat for my Special just after I joined the forum. I got the seat, (in it's wrapper and box!) along with a brand new grab rail for $210. Then I sold the guy that had the seat my leftover Yamaha sissy bar that went around my "interesting" high-back seat for $30. All said and done, $180 for a new seat and grab rail

I would send it back. I think they should pay for the shipping as well - that seat is not in good condition and not worth $90.

FYI - I have bought and re-sold three 79 special seats on ebay in the last year or so.
The best one sold for approx $175 and it was all stock and near mint.

Creative searching on ebay can net some good results.
good luck,
Andy

This one looks pretty good, ebay item #220112856972

I might ask for some pics of the bottom and if it has the gold yamaha emblem on the back before bidding.
