'82 XR200R

[Montynut]

Thanks cyclegod that is the corrcet shape, an '83 but '81-'83 all the same seat just the cover varies. That one doesn't look in great shape either and the seller will not ship to Oz.

'84 and later repo foams are available but '81-'83 is not available. Anyone know someone in NSW (preferrably Hunter Valley) who can make a new seat foam

Thanks Hoony the seat cover is not a problem I need a seat foam as the original has ben repaired previously and is falling to bits.

I've purchased from him too Hoony. Big range of stuff and really good quality. I tried recently to contact him but my saved link didn't work

Hi Hoony and Canam, would this be the Kiwi you are thinking of?

he makes and supplies some good stuff.

Canam, I saw your BMW side covers at Matcho's last Thursday, they look great.

I have an idea that the XL185 seat foam would be pretty close/identical in shape

Check this one out.

Sounds like he will even throw in a free pray for wandering souls that have fallen prey to the "work of the devil, I tells ya"

The xr uses a plastic base and the xl a steel base, I think

Might be the same shape, or at least the same shape foam but?

Pretty certain I have an 81 185 here somewhere, but the seat was toast, me thinks. ummmm, time for a trip and a dig into the bad lands hey, ummm.

Thats the fella Mick. The stuff listed is nowhere near the range he does. I got a CB500/4 cover awhile ago - heat embossed and printed too, a great match to the original.
I got my covers yesterday - excellent as always!

Choices

1; two occar straps and a pillow. Good idea to put the pillow in a plastic bag first.

2; As I said, ummmm I think I indicated it was rough xl185

Hey Greg,

Give Mario at Topline Upholstery a call he can rebuild your original base with a new foam.

Does excellent work, would highly recommend.

Another plug for Mario.
He does all my seats and my mates as well. Takes great care in restoring them to original. He also modifies ours when needed.
I just recently had him modify one of my RM250X seats by building up the foam at the front of the seat and make a new cover. It has changed the feel and egos of the bike that much I might bring it back out of retirement. Wished I'd now got it done when I was racing it a couple of years ago.
He is the seat guru
