    Default Used or new seat for 2011 RT audio and convenience model

    My 2011 RT seat stitching by the crotch area started tearing...and I did not successfully stop it. Now it is ripped into about a 6-inch wide hole. I have some estimates on repairs which are not cheap.....$375. So I did some Google and Ebay searches for new and used seats but the ones I found were more expensive that this. Does anyone have a line on who sells new or used Spyder RT seats? Thanks!

    Seats are very, very expensive to ship ..... hopefully someone here will have one for you and live close enough to do it in person ..... I have two new ones ( take-offs ) but I live in Vermont ...... Mike PS, just so you know RT seats from 2010 to 2019 will fit fine, from 14 & up the seats have the ability to add a driver backrest ..... good luck ..... Mike

    That is a GOOD price on shipping, I would recommend that offer.

    I gave away my last "OEM take off seat" but the party getting it paid $75 shipping to Las Vegas from Arkansas.

    $375 to fix the seat has the red flags waving and the BS meter pegging the top. You can do much better. There should be a LOT of OEM seats around because most get replaced. I threw two of them in the trash when we moved from AK two years ago. They had sat on a shelf in my garage for several years.

    All RT's came with the same OEM seats from 2010-2019.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    It would be $75 for the seat and plus what ever shipping costs.

    I very interested in paying you $75 plus shipping. Is there a way you can get an estimate on the cost of shipping it? Is the seat in good to excellent condition and could I see a pic?

    Hi Blueknight911, your first post said you had two new seats (take-offs). I understand the shipping costs would be hefty, but I am still interested. What would you charge me for the seat itself so I can try and estimate a total cost?

    Mikey, thanks so much for the reply. I get an error when trying to send or reply to PM's, so I contacted the Forum administrator to hopefully fix the issue. Let me try to get an estimate on the shipping and I'd love to take this seat off your hands. Is it in good shape? Any chance I can see a pic? Thanks again!

    Default Still looking...?

    Are you still looking? I have a seat from my 2019 RT Limited that I only used for 200 miles (just got the bike, new left over stock from a bankrupt business). I am in Brookfield, WI. Let me know if these deals above don't work out.

    Hi Hilmee, If you've found your seat, then could you please use 'Thread Tools' (in the middle just above the first post) and then 'Mark this thread as sold...' to mark the thread SOLD and Close it so that everyone can see that from the index page. Sorry that we've only got 'sold' as a label, but it achieves the same end of telling everyone that you no longer need that item, so it'll work.

    Thanks, and glad you got a successful outcome.
