Hi all,
Does anyone know a good source for a used seat?
Or a reasonably priced re-furb shop?
Thanks,
Ed.

Seats can sometimes be had on Ebay (got mine there as my old one was a piece of rust covered by a couple barely there seat covers).
If your seatpan is still good, I would suggest checking out a local upolstry (sp?) shop and seeing if they can put Marine grade vinyl on it. In hopefully quite a few years, that is what I will be doing.1979 XS11F Standard - Maya - 1196cc (out of order)

I recently saw the new seat molded foam and cover for the XS in JCWhitney. You might try them and see if they still carry it. You should be able to put the new seat on your old pan.

I just ordered one from JC Whitney and Installed it. It is a Travelcade SaddleSkin, and is nicer than the original seat skin - as thier advertisement states. Get one, you will like it, easy to install!

The seats on your site look good Cosky! I have a seat on the Beast (78E) that was made by Travelcade, but I can't find them anymore. It is described as a "sport" LTD seat. The shape of it is the best IMHO. It looks like a fairly easy seat to make if you are so inclined.

Ed, I have one from a 79F that is available.
You will have to verify that it will fit. Let me know if you are interested, I can send pics.

Hey Mike,
I looked at some pics of a 79F, hard to tell if it will fit , but I would like to at least see some pics of the seat that you have.
And let me know what you want for it.
The only noticible difference is the little plastic tail piece on the 79F, mine is all material as seen here.
Thanks,
Ed.Ed C.
