Good Source for Used (or New) ATV Parts??
« on: October 31, 2005, 09:18:50 AM »
I am in the market for a seat for my 1995 Polaris Sportsman 400 4x4.

I am finding the few places that have a new one to be costly.  I was looking for a good place to perhaps find a used one.  Or, a cheaper place to buy a new one.  The price I am being quoted regularly is $229 plus shipping which is totaling about $250.  That seems high to me considering that the bike is probably only worth $1000-$1500.  The problem is that the bottom plate its broken and unrepairable, other wise I would just re cover it.

Any help is much appreciated.

GOOD LUCK,

I have been looking for a seat for my 02 500HO and have looked everywhere and nothing even bike junk yards.

But if you still have your old seat and just need to replace the foam and cover you should be able to get a cover for $30-35 and have a upolstry shop make you a foam piece for the seat and they will put the cover on for you.

Thats what I am doing now.

Thanks Two Bears.

The problem is that the bottom part of the seat is all broken up.  If It were good, a simple $30 seat cover would be the answer.  As it stands the latch won't catch and I have to strap it down with a bungee cord.  Looks terrible on an other wise o.k. looking bike.
