fitting a replica k3 seat

<< < (2/4) > >>

MikeM:
the seat base is the original base off the k3 , it had a large chunk cut out of the foam and it and was rotten as was the seat cover

so I guess either foam it and buy a cover or look for another original seat    :-\

Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
A few years back I got a 750 replica seat from DS.Looked the bizz until you opened it crashed on top of the oil tank cap.Crap I thought sold it and rebuilt the original base blasted resprayed and new cover with chrome trim bloody good.
Cheers

MikeM:
I am thinking about going down the fixing of original but how do I sort out the foam ? I have no original foam to go by

is it that important to correct shape of the foam ?

Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
Mike,
Luckily for me the foam was in good condition so no problem there but because I have the 750 I have seen foams for it on eBay USA I am sorry to say tax etc.
Maybe chance your luck over there they do seem to have everything annoyingly.
Cheers
Bitsa

MikeM:
one on ebay only

lovely  ???
