Change gz 250 seat?

golem · 10-07-2014, 11:05 AM

hello, good people of this forum. I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this matter : is it possible to install this kind of seat (

Thank you for the help.

No.

But you can shave your current seat to give more contour if that's what you're looking for.
You could also pair that with recovering the seat with a different type of leather or vinyl, and even add a pad underneath for better butt cushion.

There are several guides in the how-to or "instructional" section. Just give it a glance and see what you think.

You can watch any number of videos on youtube - they don't have to be GZ specific - the general execution is going to be the same, just modified for your particular application.

Thank you Jonathan. While I'm at it, is there a way to paint the fender strut without them looking bad? I'd like to have them black. Also you had a database of gz250 pics at some points apparently, would you have some pics of modified back fender, I would like to get some ideas because I'm not too fan of the marauder one.
