does anyone know where to find new trike seat foam? there was a guy on ebay selling all kinds on thursday i remember seeing and i forgot to buy one, i came back tuesday and i cant find who was selling them.

my seat foam was hard and just to used/warn to use again for 20 years. i need foam for a 200x but i want new stuff, not this 20+ year old crap. can anyone help?

Well in case your anxious to see, here is what the one link says ........

They might just sell the foam ?

What's wrong with a nice 20+ year old seat though? I remember now, your the one that complained about how hard the seats are on motox bikes. :lol:

Your so skinny it's more you then the seats, you need more fat on your *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* :lol:

If it was me I'd just buy a used seat because I have no problem with old Honda seats at all, they hold up just fine.

Just stuff extra padding in your pants, that's all :lol:

i got 2 trikes...maybe a month ago. then i traded some parts and got almost a entire trike, missing a few parts. been buying parts since then, redoing everything. no pics yet, i have my eye on a digital cammera but my dad told me the other day to hold off because hes gonna buy me one.

my trike build wont start until i get the cammera, until then its cleaning every parts, going thru the good and the bad. i have everything to make my 200x a roller but i wont put it together until i get new bearings for it. in 2 weeks im getting 1 part of the frame welded up (exhaust tab is kinda snapped off) and a bolt drilled out and retapped as well as retab all the holes again, then strip the frame, prime and repaint.

really i got no prob spending 80 bucks for a new seat, i just dont need the cover, i just need the seat foam.

Like I said, call them and ask.

Painting the frame, spend about 3-4 bucks more a can (8 bucks a can or so) and get PJ1 paint, it's worth it ! :beer

You ebay shopping for parts at all?

im gonna use PJ1 paint, i may check into power coating but not sure. ive been getting parts from all over the place. ive gotten some stuff from jason85atc250r, 200x_newby, and some guys on paatving, i got 400ex wheels with and hubs. i got the trikes from a memeber on here, i scored 5 things in very good shape off ebay, brand new lug nuts, air box tube, new custom seat cover, footpegs that were repainted and well taken care of, gas tank hardware to hold the tank on.

i need to get the tank coated in side and redone also but i need to make sure i got all the parts 1st then build it up all nice, nothing for show, just mechanical sound in pretty good shape.

i really only need a few odds and ends like bolts, nuts and bearings and a chain and prob get it new sprokets also, exhaust and brakes

400EX wheels (or 450R), that's exactly what I'm looking for, well the whole set up, wheels & tires but not the hubs.

Are they in nice shape ?

Honda wheels are good wheels, real strong.

How much coin?

65 shipped, wheels have been used. you can use Z400 wheels or kxf400 wheels also, they are 4 x 110 but use a dif tire pattern. trx450R wheels fit also, 300ex wheels are the same as 400ex and 450R just use 22in tires.

65 shipped isn't bad, as long as they not beat.

Not sure what you meant "just use 22" tires, you can use any size diameter you want. I'm going with 20 or 22" myself.

What color you painting it ?

Check this one out! :eek:

i was thinking all white, with blue frame but i dont like that idea anymore. its just gonna be red all red with blue fork covers and black and blue seat cover and prob blue handle bars.

i found seat foam hi flight...$65+ shipping...the guy on here that sells them said $75 shipped.

ill lay my seat cover over my foam right now and then try to patch any holes i see in it 1st.

i mean then 400ex uses the same rims as almost all honda sport quads, its just each model seems to use a dif size.
