I've got an oem seat with no cover on it. The previous owner of the seat shaved it down, taking off of the top about 30-40% of the foam. He did a somewhat good job except the very back part dips down just a tad, but feels comfortable so I'm not worried. I like the thinner seat because it allows me to sit just a tad lower on the machine and at 6'5" that helps.

There are tons of options for seat covers so just looking for some opinions. I want to go with plain black, no writing. Don't want a gripper or hump. I'd like to go with red but I have oem plastic and most the red seats I see don't look like they match oem plastic correctly.

Thanks, Jesse. Custom Seats of Louisiana does some dang good work, and I used to go to college right there where he is in Lafayette for a couple of years so I might have to contact him. Cool stuff.

Trans when you're tall and old like me higher seats make it easier to stand up.

I am 6 3 and prefer the taller 88 89 vs the 86 87. I liked the FX gripper solid black that I had. I think it helped save the arms a little bit throughout the ride.

Thanks, I haven't been able to find a 100% black cover, no logos or anything so I shot Graves an email today. I did decide to use my good '88 oem foam instead of the shaved one I have, should sit a little better and look better too.

A little FX logo but a nice seat cover. It is a gripper.

If you ask Quad Tech, they will remove any and all labels/logos from your seat
