95 Seat Change (Read 121 times)

pradeepa YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 8	95 Seat Change 01/24/08 at 18:40:50 I am looking online and found a seat, but it is for a 2002/03 model. Does anyone know if it is still compatible with a 95?

I have a 2001 that had a two piece seat and replaced it with a one piece seat from a 2006. I would also suggest replacing the underseat mounting bolts with some hex caps. I can remove the seat much quicker with a t handle hex key than I ever could with a socket.

See their 'accessories' site for more info. Don't expect the dealership to be any help though.

I think the disclaimer is because you need to drill holes to put a one piece seat on a two piece seat bike.

Well, to mount it the same as a new bike..... But, I just put a 06 seat on my '01 because my son said the '01 passenger seat was too stiff. I put a rubber bumper in the rear bolt flange. No holes drilled. The One piece is a pain to get on & off though. Because of the Sissy bar & pad you can't just pull it up.

Engineers design things, Technicians make them work.

The sissy bar and the side rails needed to go. Good idea on the rubber bumper. I noticed mine stays off the fender about a quarter of an inch. I suspect it will allow adequate cooling for the electronics.
