Default to anyone who has done a f4i tail swap

I am in need of a oem f4 seat, I am willing to pay the shipping, I know someone has one laying around that they will never use, my seat was damaged when I bought it, and the guy I got it from tried to fix it, anyways he did a horrible job, there is cardboard under the seat cover, because the replacement foam was not firm enough.....

anyways a new seat would be awesome, I have some parts to trade

battery cover, throttle cables, clutch cable, rear break system with a bent rear break lever, rear foot pegs, I got a zip lock bag full of fuses and relays that came with the bike, a purfect condition choke lever, used but still has good tread pilot race 120/70/17

I'd take dmcb2120 up on his offer. These seats can often be very hard to find, & when you do...they're pricey. Get it & recover it.

I've recovered two seats w/ marine vinyl that I got from Joann's Fabric & Craft store. Purchased it by the yard, cut to shape, & stapled. Will leave your fingers sore but can be done at home for free. ;-)

Yep, I re-covered mine in marine vinyl as well and it turned out awsome. Of course...its easier when your wife and mom get togeather and do all of the cutting an sewing and all you have to do is the stretching and glueing.

Im not really looking to spend any money on one, I see them on ebay all the time for cheaper than that, I have a good seat cover, its brand new, I know how to recover them, I know someone has one that they probably just want out of there garage, I just want to pay for the shipping, looking to get hooked up

maybe at the moment, but I have seen them cheaper, I just checked my pm's and someone has one for me, and if you list your seat on ebay, there is a good chance someone will buy it for $60, but I just cant afford it right now, I just bought a grocery list of parts for my bike, on top of just re building it
