My search for a honda tl250 seat continues.... i think im going to try fabricating one.
Does anyone know if a tl125 will fit...or be close enough to work with..
Thanks

Parts bike sold on EBay last night. Had a seat. Perhaps the buyer will part with the part.

Is that the one that was rusted[seat base]? if so , just clean it up, get rid of the rust with acid etc, and fiberglass it, with few layers and recover the seat as normal.

Beyond repair....brittle....cracked.....came apart with the cover....trying to get an old school metal fabricator to build one.

For other people maybe....im a baker
I can get a basic one but was hoping for close to the original...basic would get me outta trouble. Spent too much on the bike now....might as well keep going
