Thank you. I have been thinking along the same lines. I was able to locate the fiberglass base and with a little cosmetic work it should be fine. I am toying with the idea of heat forming the seat pan out of a white plastic cutting board. I think it would hold the staples for the cover well. I have been sidetracked a bit working on my road bike, a vintage BMW.

Thank you both. I looked at the eBay item and it was in bad shape. There is substantial damage to the fiberglass and the actual seat is in very poor condition. I have seen the covers and I may have to go that route if I can’t find something better.

Thank you. You get it, don’t just settle for what the docs say. Never forget the power of exercise and fresh air in regard to health. Challenging ourselves with new activities is powerful medicine.

Recently I purchased a beater ty250 and I am looking for a seat. They appear to be unavailable so I guess I am going to have to have one made. Have any of you done this? Any recommendations as to who can make it? I do have the fiberglass base but no seat. I have made my own seat pans in the past but I would rater not reinvent the wheel if there is a supplier out there. I am located in the US. Thanks

Hi All, I am new here and new to trials. I recently purchased a beater 1974 ty250 that I am starting to go through. I have 3 other bikes, Husky FE 350s, BSA B50 MX and a BMW r75/5. I have a bad habit of slowing down and falling over. I figured working on my balance is a good idea, a good excuse to buy another bike anyway. 25 years ago I was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition like MS and I was told I had a wheelchair in my future. I have been working hard to prove the docs wrong ever since.
