Seat Foam

Post by AK Dream » Wed Apr 25, 2012 1:19 am

I'm recovering the seat off my CA77 and while covers are easy to come by, the foam is not. The original foam rotted off years ago and I'm having a heck of a time finding something to replace it with. Does anyone have a line on where I can purchase foam that is intended for motorcycle seats?

You might check the following link and give TD a call. This guy has been restoring seats for approximately 20 years. When he does them, it will be as close to original as it gets. If he won't sell you the foam, he will surely tell you where you can get it, and what it is.

Ed, am I wrong? I have heard only good things about this shop. If you know better, please let me know, you certainly have more knowledge than I.

I actually called them already and was told they don't just sell the foam and refered me to JoAnn Fabrics.

This guy is in business to sell restoration work and is not interested in helping anyone with a project.
