nope po white do his own seat, I got 40 bucks in it plus I got left over materials,
I did my first seat on my first Z1 back in 97, it was a little more involved, suede leather, with stitching, I taught myself, the trick with foam is trim with a electric turkey carving knife, no shit

sorry Lar no pics of the seat assembly, :huh:
