As an owner of multiple KZs, I'm looking for recommendations on quality seat replacements.
The stock vinyl covers on the '80 and '82 LTDs have split.
I'm not sdverse to replacing the foam as well, so tell me who has the best seats!
Thanks to all.

I bought one of the "two seat" styles to replace the one long banana seat my KZ750B4 cam with. It fit on OK, looked good, and I rode it a LONG time. Eventually, the cover got dry rotted and split along the seams but that was probably after ten or twelve years at least being parked outside during the day. I definitely got my money's worth, YMMV.I have been curious about those J. C. Whitney covers as I have a spare seat I would like to recover just in case.

I know this is dangerous because of "slippage" but I put just a drop or two of Armour All on a rag and wipe the cover all over after I wash the bike to keep it looking sharp, and it's so thin a layer that I never slide around on it.
That's why I cahnged to the "two seat" dsign with molded seat cuts and the front one has a raised curved "back" in the foam so you can't slide around.
