Just wondering if anyone has a stock seat for a 2008 GS lying around that they are willing to part with. I thought someone might have replaced the stock seat with a custom seat. My original vinyl seat cover is starting to show wear signs after 78,000 miles and I have not been able to find just that vinyl cover thru BRP or dealers or even after market vendors. So I thought the next best thing would to replace the whole seat.

I agree that the BRP seat skin is a viable alternative. A reupholstery shop (auto trim shop) can also recover a stock seat.

Jim, if just the cover of yours is wore, you should bid on this !!!!!!! nojoke You should be able to get this dirt cheap since there is only one day left to bid. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Used-BRP-Can-Am-SPYDER-Seat-Cover-Trim-Full-Moon-Blk-NO-RESERVE-/121016957591?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c2d2c3a97&vxp=mtr

It installs in just a few minutes and it matches your bike. If you don't have a ebay account PM me and I will bid on it 4 u. :thumbup:

That is the best deal ever on a cover that I have ever seen. You got a $180.00 custom seat cover for $18.50. :thumbup: I think I paid $75.00 for mine used.

Mike,

I see it was used. If you need the push pins, you can get them at Loew's. I believe the front two are shorter than the rest (if I remember right). I bought one used from a spyderlover member and I had to replace the push pins.

You got yourself a great deal.:thumbup:

If anyone needs it. Had about 10,000 mile when taken off for my comfort seat, in good shape, and no hardware. Just pay for shipping, and PM me with address.

PS. Live in So Cal if you want to pick it up.
