Joe got your message and sent one back. It is easier to track down a seat off of a 1996 Yamaha Vmax XT model. Same seat and just have to change the lettering over to red from white with a sharpie and patients. I have seen several XT,S on the market with minty seats on them. Might have to buy a whole sled for the good seat, but swap out seats then sell the sled if you are a careful shopper, and you got your seat for nothing!!!...Rob.
