New or recovered ATV seat

Postby Don Miller » Mon Feb 21, 2005 7:57 am

The seat on my Honda 450 has split in several places due to being left out in the weather. Does anyone know about how much the difference is in a new seat versus a recovered ATV seat?

You can get a recovered one for about $125. There's a guy in greenwood that works on 4 wheelers that can do it, not Ricks or Turner's. A new one will probably be around $250, but I'm just guesstimating. :lol:

I had the seat done on my honda about five years ago. It was done over here and it was a little over 100.00. Costallos on Franklin St. did it. It was some kind of replacement cover they made for it and has held up real well. Ithink it is thinker than the one that came on the bike. Call me and I will hook you up with him.

I have the same 4 wheeler and I believe at North Jacson Honda they had the entire seat for around $75. Might want to call them and be sure.
