Have you considered getting it reupholstered? I had my two seat done recently and am very happy with how they came out.

None of the other 11 seats fit he XJ. This is due to the unique way the XJ seat is held in place; the "fingers" and quick-release mechanism on either side of the seat is unique. However, the fingers do unbolt, so it may be possible to re-mount them on an 11 seat via some custom work, although I have not heard of this being done.

Diamond Seat out of Florida offers XJ seats, custom built, on fiberglass pans they produce. Seats are very good but not cheap; I paid about $420.00 for mine.

Several people have taken 1 of 2 routes; take it to a local shop and get the seat rebuilt, or get one of the redo kits such as TravelCade (sp?) puts out. Or, you might try to find a better one from eBay or at a cycle salvage yard.

Like several things about the XJ, the seat is unique and you do not have all that many options when it comes to replacing it.
