Does anyone know if a seat from an '08 or '09 TE will fit an '07 TE? I broke my seat pan and I've got a race this Sunday. I'm scrambling to get a seat for my '07 . Dealer says quickest option is take one off a bike on the showroom floor('09) if it will fit an '07. Anyone know this?
It's a little late now, but Guts Racing makes all kinds of great seat foam (standard height, tall, soft, medium, hard) for your 07. I plan to get some soft foam from them for my TE450. http://www.gutsracing.com/ Oops, the seat PAN broke. Never mind.... Too bad it isn't a KTM or Enduro Engineering would probably have something for it.
That's how this adventure got started. While installing a Guts foam and cover, I cracked the seat pan. Now I'm trying to find a solution.
Hmmm, I don't think that I'll do my own install. I'll just send the seat to those guys and have them do it.
Yeah, I would recommend that. Problem is on the East Coast it's a 2 week turnaround shipping the seat to Cal. and back. Unless you want to get hammered with astronomical shipping charges. It's riding season now so I don't have down time. I definitely won't try that one again. Lesson Learned: Husky seat pans don't like crown staples
Good news and bad news. Bad: The '08/'09s don't fit. Good: My dealer,(Toy Tech) just happens to have a complete seat from an '05 SMR /TE in his storeroom. A "Limited Edition " model red/gray/black. Sounds interesting. Anyway, I'm good to go for the weekend. Thanks again Toy Tech!
If the spare seat from your dealer doesn't work out you can borrow mine for the week-end race. It has a small tear in it so if something happens it's not the end of the world. I'm not riding this week-end. ( I have a 07 te too). Dave, .... in Wilmington, DE
Thanks Dave, That's Awesome of you to offer. I'll know on Friday afternoon when the seat arrives. If it doesn't work, I'll shoot you a PM. I'm about 45 min. from Wilmington. Thanks again, Bill.
epoxy and fiberglass cloth. you could repair it so it'd get you through the event. Just glass it on the inside. If you've never done it before its not too hard... butt the broken pieces together put a thick layer of epoxy over the surface lay the fiberglass cloth into the epoxy squeegie any excess epoxy off using something like a credit card so that the cloth is thoroughly soaked. let it dry. Stronger than stock... definitely. You can buy glass & epoxy probably at any autoparts store and maybe even walmart? hope this helps
