Title: 1973 tm250 Seat foam
Post by: Nipper on November 02, 2013, 11:55:36 pm

Does anyone know where I can get a seat foam for a 1973tm Suzuki?
I have seen plenty for the 1974 / 75 models but the different shape of the earlier seat seems to be harder to find. Thanks

Can you mold the foam from the later model to suit?

the seat I have on the 1973 model bike is a different profile to the 1974 model seat. I can get the 1974 profile foam no worries but I cant find the 1971 -1972 model foam. I might have a look at whether it is possible to shape a 1974 foam to suit.

I just get my trimmer to make the foam, he uses the "pink" foam....you have that "Eldorado Seats" guy in Adelaide that makes awesome seats...ring him up.

I have used eldorado before, (sounds like a 1970's aftershave) and Tony's work is second to none. That is a good option Davey , I thought that I could get a foam off the shelf but maybe not.
