Default finding a seat

So I have a 1998 smokin joes, and it has the black seat on it

Though I'm really not concerned about the seat too much, I would like to find the seat that matches the smokin joes color scheme (white yellow and deep purple). I think they put those seats on the 97 model. Anyone know where I can find that seat?

All of the factory seats were black. No matching colors from Honda. If you saw one, it was a custom seat. You can try companies like Corbin, or Sargent. There are others too.

Most of the ones I have seen were black but I have seen others that were purple or purple and black. I have even seen yellow and purple. It is funny that you mention this. I purchased a 97 f3 5 months ago. It is yellow with a black wind screen, the brake calipers were painted blue and the seat was yellow with a kind of tribal like purple design stiched on it. Now I think the guy I bought it from was trying to match the blue calipers but if you look at it it is purple. I have since changed the seat (found a black one on ebay) to go with a black/yellow with some little blue and carbon fiber accents. I had been thinking about recovering it or either selling it. Once I figure out how to post pictures I will list one of how it looks

If you watch my video, the very first vid in the "related" tab shows one with the seat I'm talking about, I've seen it a few times before, I just can't find it for the life of me, I've checked corbin, sargent, etc.

Default RE: finding a seat..FOUND THEM!!

Guys, the seat you are looking for is a cover made by "Second Look". They are on the internet. These seat covers, that replace your original stapled on units, sell for about $90. Check them out.
