Seat Concepts seat kit

Finished
This morning I got some spray adhesive and put it together. I put he foam on the pan and marked it with a sharpie. Then I spayed the adhesive on the pan and foam. I attached the foam and put the cover on. Staples in the ends and sides first. Then I started streaching the cover. I could push the stapler in to the foam and pull the cover a little tighter as I went.
On the bike tomorrow.

Oh why on why do you post stuff like this!! Now I want one! Actually the seat on my 04 KLX 330RS is quite tired anyways! It is cool that they make a kit for older KLX's!
I thought I was done modding this bike! HAHA

I take it the old foam wasn't glued? Just wondering if gluing the new is really necessary? What do you think? One thing I know for sure is that the stock seat needs something done to it.

I ordered a kit a few days ago, but won't even have the bike until next Wednesday. (grumble grumble) Anyway, I have a friend in the automobile upholstery business and he'll do the installation for me. He did an old CB750 Honda I used to own and beefed up that kit with extra foam. Great job.

+1. Will the width be an issue when standing, especially when going slow, rockcrawling downhills?

I did 110 miles in the Georgia mountains today.My first ride on the new seat. Mostly paved with some dirt forest service roads and about 5 miles of rocky jeep trail. Sitting down for long periods is way better than the stock seat. It seems to be a harder foam , but the extra width makes it much less painful. I had no problem at all standing. It seemed more narrow at the front than the stocker.I did have mine cut down about an inch in the front half so I don't know if it would be different than the standard height or not.The only time my legs hit were when I intentionally leaned back to see where it would make contact.I hit a few small jumps , up hills , down hills, I don't think the extra width will be a problem . All in all ,if I had borrowed this seat and had to give it back after my ride today. I would order one.
