Gauging Interest in Ceet "Team Green" 86-87 Tecate Seat Covers.

[bkm]

I have contacted Ceet regarding remaking the original seat cover used on the Factory Team Green bikes. They would like a minimum order of ten. Looks like it would be around $80 shipped in the U.S., give or take a few dollars. This is the cover minus the wrinkles of course.

Any other time I'd jump in on this but I gotta slow down this spending, sorry brian. Keep this updated though, I can always be swayed if it gets close

[bkm]

Will do. I'm sure this will take a while. I'll keep everyone updated.

Bkm, I'd like 2 of the mean team green covers for an 86, like in the #1 post.

[bkm]

Okay I've got close to ten guys interested. I'm going to contact Ceet on Monday. In order to get this done I will probably be taking the $ pre-order to insure we have the $ in place for ten covers. Once all the money is in place and the label is exactly like the original I'll place the order. Once I hear from Ceet I will provide the details for the pre-order.

I wonder if Ceet would be interested in doing the old tank covers.

[bkm]

I think they do, but may be wrong?

[bkm]

Looks like we have ten guys who want a cover. I'll contact Ceet tomorrow and update this thread with payment details. Thank you to all who showed interest.

Here is the stencil submission from Ceet. Tell me what you guys think.

The photo in post 1
Is that an original team green cover?
Looks like the seat is thicker.
I think ceet used to make the 86 kxt version 1" thicker if we could get the thicker foam and cover I would be in.

Good eye Phantomracer, with the low profile fenders i am not sure. The cover in #1 was found like that on that ex- racer in a barn by what I read in other posts. Foam height could be a big concern for correct reproduction, good point.

[bkm]

I've also wondered this. Hi-Flite and Ceet are now the same company from what I've been told and hi-flite makes foam for both generation Tecate's. I will contact them and see if their covers are for oem foam or thicker foam and if the replacement foam is thicker.

[bkm]

The pictures I received from the owner of Steve Mendenhall's factory racer looks like it has thicker foam. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/28/6bd45b631d502777f5c55cac3496b864.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/28/b1b12f49e8a531dc179b351594bec6c8.jpg

Hi flite does make a stock height seat foam and a safety height (thicker) for the 86-7 tecates. I would imagine from my dealings with them that each person in this buy will have their choice of the height. I would think that hi flite only needed 10 people to commit to them making the screen to print the "team green" logo, and since it's just going on a regular blue cover they make they will easily be able to make either version.

[phantomtracer]

I had a ceet cover with 1" thicker foam back in the day. I remember reading jimmy had that on his and I wanted the thicker seat because of my long legs, makes it easier to transition from seated to standing.

[bkm]

86T3 is correct. The commitment is for the logo. I'm sure you could get either cover without problems.

[phantomtracer]

That's great, count me in for one.
