That seat looks great for a woman with wider hips/bigger butt...

 

See post #18.

 

i just want to get it taller and flatter like this klx250sf

 

I checked with a local upholstery shop (East Central Florida).

$40-$50 just to staple the seat on.

$200 and up to add foam, reshape seat, make new cover and install cover.

Kinda more than I had hoped for.

His work that was on display from other projects was beautiful. I am sure the new seat would have been a very high quality item.

 

I bought a stapler for $35. Took the seat pan to the store to test if it has enough jam to to do the job. As long as I keep pressure at the driving end as I pull the trigger with my other hand it's fine. Using it one-handed there is a little bit of bounce that lets the staple stand a bit proud. Waiting for stainless staples to arrive.

 

When I did my seat concepts cover last week, I didnt have a stapler either.

I contemplated (for about a minute) taking it to an upholstery shop that had installed a cover for me about a decade ago. I like to do my modifications myself so I went to the local tool rental place and rented an electric stapler for 2 hours ($8) and purchased a box of staples ($3) then drove home, installed the cover, returned the stapler, and went to work.

Best 175 bucks +11 bucks spent on the klx250 so far.

 

Have not done the Seat Concepts seat mod yet but I did have my seat cover off to try some foam shaping.

I bought a sub $20 air stapler at Harbor Freight and some 1/4" T-50 staples. Worked fine stapling the cover back on.

 

Got it. Thanks. Must have missed it on my first read through...

 

I called Seat Concepts 951-756-1030, 951-741-0722 and spoke with somone about the red sides and that was no problems. You are correct about not listing on the web site. Give em a try and see what they have to say about the colors. Good Luck!

 

Is it softer than the stock seat?
