Decent Seat wanted - what are my options
Hi folks,
I'm looking to buy a replacement seat for my AT RD04 .. it needs to be suitable for 2 and darn comfortable... any ideas - suggestions, very welcome ... I have the standard seat, plus a airhawk and sheepskin... still didn't stop the sleeping balls syndrome...(good job I don’t want kids I guess) … Salut Matt

There are several options of getting it professionally done BUT! they are a lot of money and not IMHO really worth it..
I suggest New New Seat - Honda Trail Bike Forums do that and then just take the seat to a local automotive upholsterer and they will make a new cover for it.. good luck

How can you ride when something is sliding around under you?

i dont know about sargeant seats but i was really unimpressed with corbin when i bought a "gunfighter" (stupid name) for my sportsbike a few years ago.
it was very expensive it weighed a tonne it didnt fit, the seat lock would not latch it rubbed the paint the leather was very poor quality and already had marks in i sent it back and had my original seat reshaped to what i wanted, it was a superb job and a third of the cost. where i had it done have retired to the sun now, good for them but bad for us they were real pros, bumwraps in bognor regis. i agree with patrick above, custom made is the way to go and not as expensive as you think

never heard of renazco, american brand i assume? but then so are corbin so someone is probably selling them this side of the pond.
i hope they are better value than corbin, the seat for my GSX was £350, back then nearly $700US! UPDATE; just had a look on renazco website, they look pretty nice. a full suede seat tailor made to your measurements is $400, an off-the-shelf corbin seat for my varadero is $430. trouble is, change the dollar sign to pounds and thats how much they cost here :0( rip off britain strikes again!

I'll back Mollydog up on the renazco seats, best i've ever used and i've tried quite a few different solutions.
If one ever comes up used on any web forum grab it, I did for my KTM and was so impressed that I bought a new one for my XR650R. Not cheap by the time you've shipped from the USA but quality never is

i haven't even got the XT out of the garage for months, i just used the varadero as an example for price. cant see why anyone would want to change the seat on a varadero
