Seat cover
Hi all !
Anyone point me in the direction of a supplier of replacement seat covers? Ive looked at all the online places i can think of, Dave Lamberth seems to make replacement ones for all xt 600 models except mine, :( , BTW mines a 2003 xt600e in black. The original seat cover is in one piece with no rips or tears, but has lost some of the "greyish matt finish?" on the top and now gets very tacky when the suns out! Has anybody else had this problem? Thanks and great forum ! |
I could do with the same.
I also need one for my 4PT seat. I've found a portuguese website but they also don't say which models the seatcover fits, they only mention XT600... Vando beer |
Hi Vando ! I was really hoping Dave lamberth would make one cos they look well made, but he hasnt got back to me yet! Bill

Hey Bill!
Did you ask for the same two tone seat cover or in just one tone? In my case, I'm looking for a black and blue cover... If he says anything, don't forget to post it here L:P I've tried contacting him through his ebay seller ID but never received an answer... :\ Vando :cool4: |
Hi Vando, Only asked for an all black one and still no reply- I will post if i find anywhere though. Bill

Got mine from New Zealand from this guy.

Bill, any updates?
Mezo, have ya ever tried fitting one of those on to a 4PT seat? lol I tried searching for that seller you posted but I can't register on that website (no international addresses lol) Could you contact that guy for us? maybe get some price quotes for the seat covers for the 4PT? Bill is looking for an all black (please correct if I'm wrong) Me looking for the black on top and blue on the sides or all blue or all black.. Blue as the original 2002-2003 color :innocent: Vando beer |
Bagster
I used Bagster seat covers to recover my beemer. I think they stock most brands including Yamaha.

Vando- Nothing yet mate. Been debating whether to make my own cover, if i can find the right material...
Mezo- Nice bike ! seat looks good quality and well made. |
I forgot I'd already made a similar thread...

Blackbird bought Tecnosel! Also, I've emailed them asking for this color scheme (from the TT 600 R 97>05) but for the XT600E 96>03 (4PT) http://www.blackbirdracing.com/immag...97_05-l452.JPG mx graphics - Yamaha - TT 600 R 97>05 - TRADITIONAL SEAT COVER Price for most of their seat covers 43.20€ Would look sweet! :thumbup1: Shipping is 20€ on most of their seat covers to Portugal... I'd be happy with this seat cover! Vando beer |

Bit more detective work required. I had a seat made for me form Renazco Racing for my DR650, real nice if you have a spare US$400+ shipping and there's a waiting list. http://members.iinet.net.au/%7Emezo/...d/Renazco1.jpg Mezo. |

Very important update!
Just received an email by the Blackbird racing company.. "Dear Vando, I'm sorry but I sent you the wrong picture of our code 1239/02 for Yamaha XT 600 96-03. In attachment you can find the truth picture of the seat cover in blue with black sides. So if you buy on our web site the 1239/02 you will receive this one. " Picture: http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/6541/dsc01302g.jpg So YAYYYY!!! A little research that payed of! AWOLXT: I just emailed them back asking about your seat cover, black on the sides, gray on top. Maybe on monday they'll answer! Vando beer |
Nice one Vando !!bier

Thanks!
I'll let you know when they answer back on your seat cover.. I asked if they have the same pattern but black on the sides and gray on top... This is what you want right?! Vando beer |

I want it real deep like the factory Yamaha`s from back in the day. :cool4: Mezo. |
Haha.. well, if you say their worth it who am I to question :P

I've payed 40€ before to a man whom makes Napa works..in gray and it was pretty good.. awolxt: Just got their email... their black version is the all black seat cover I posted above.. Right now I'ma go get a change of clothes and take the carbs out of my bike... Rejet rejet rejet rejet until it's perfect :D Vando beer |
What about these ones on ebay?
YAMAHA XT600 84-89 GRIPPER SEAT COVER XT 550 NEW | eBay Also does anyone know the differences between the "generations" in the seats? Also how would one put these on? Sorry for the dumb questions... |
Well.. the XT600E from 1990 to 1995 are all the same but the seat changed in 1996 up until 2003 when they stopped making the 600E..
As far as the rest, I have no idea :X |
Quote:
What about installing them? Are you guys doing this yourself or taking it to a place? Any idea how much it'd cost? |
My previous seat was done by an old guy that lives around here.
I haven't done seat covers yet.. Would like to try someday but doubt it'll be with this one next one. Vando |
4PT & 2KF seatcovers.
Hi.
Single colour & 2-tone 4PT covers are in the pipeline - sorry for the wait! I only start to sell my covers once I've had the first samples back and fitted a few myself. I have to buy lots of seats - (and there are more colour/logo combinations of 4PT than any other XT600 seat) - send them off for patterns to be made and fitted, get them back, check them out and fit some...etc, etc...All takes ages! The moment I have stock, they'll be in the ebay shop. 2KF also - I wasn't 100% happy with the original pattern, so I'm having new ones made. New foams coming soon too as many early 34l/55W seats have collapsed or become very soft. Best wishes. David. |
Glad to know you're on to this David!
When you get the samples, could ya post some pictures of them so we can have a peak? Vando :innocent: |
