kdx Seat foam
« on: September 16, 2013, 01:48:46 pm »

Hi

lm looking for seat foam to suit kdx175 and seem be looking in the wrong places.

Can you point me to where l can buy the foam or perhaps you have a good seat to sell me ?

Not worried about the cover, just the foam.

I buy foam from Clark Rubber stores, then use a fine cutting disc on angle grinder to shape it,finish of with an aggressive disc. Has worked well for me.
Bultaco Metralla, Matador MK 5, Montadero mk2, El Bandido model 18,plus lots of bits and two Honda XR's 250,350.

Thanks for the tip Matador107

l went for a look around utube and saw people shaping foam with an angle grinder, looks like it works well.

l also saw people restoring the foams shape by steaming it, will give that a go too :)

Geoff, you can get aftermarket seat foam for 80/81 KX's from DC Plastics or off Ebay. They should be the same as a KDX175.
