Seat Foam for YZ400D
« on: April 19, 2013, 12:22:41 am »
I've been looking to replace the cut down seat on my YZ400D and wanted to know if anyone has any experience with the ones purchased from "the seat factory" on ebay AND/OR the ones sold by Les at VMX Unlimited.

Neither are cheap (at $100 each just for a seat foam??) so was looking for some or any feedback before spending the money.

Thanks
Craig

Have purchased a couple from Les (VMX unlimted) and both perfect fit. They are properly molded foams so there is a little work in them and I cannot see that the demand would be massive so unit price goes up. The major cost is setup so the number produced is critical.

Thanks Montynut, excellent to get first hand feedback and after speaking with Les earlier today I will probably get one of his seat foams  8)

i got one of les at vmx unlimited for my 400d,it fitted straight on with no hassles except for finding a cover to fit which after 4 attempts was sorted,i think they a firmer than the original foam and feels a touch taller which suits me fine,i also put one on my 125d and it was a good fit also.
cheers scotty

Hey Craig,
I got my seat foam for the YZ250C from Les, ( VMX Unlimited ). He actually gets them from Speed N Sport in USA. My foam needed a small piece removed from the lower front area to allow for the front seat bracket to fit, prior to fitting the seat cover. The foam is a lot firmer than the previous one I had.
I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.
