My stepson is shipping his 87 Savage from California to Virginia so his mother and I can ride it.  It has a ripped seat cover.  I have had miserable experience dealing with salvage yards over the web and over the phone.  There is a used seat on e-bay.  I know I can go to an auto seatcover place to have a new seat cover made.  How much should I be willing to bid for an 87 seat on e-bay or from a salvage yard?

You could probably get a Savage seat covered for what you'd pay for a used one on e-bay (or near enough ...) ... what you could do with getting the seat re-covered, is to get a little extra support added ... some extra padding ... my stock seat has only a season-and-a-half butt time and already I can feel the difference ... and the difference isn't all positive!
Well, if I decide to hang onto my LS650, in a few years, I'd like to get the seat, b*itch pad and back rest re-upholstered in a rich-looking brown leather ... now that'd be different!
