Will a 94 seat fit a 2005?


Whats the cut off that will fit a 2nd gen(2005) pre 94? or will 1st gen seats fit?

 

[dragknee]

yes it will fit. 94 to present are all the same. im pretty sure a pre 94 seat will fit too, but dont quote me on that.

A gen 1 seat will not fit a gen 2 (a seat 94+ will fit your 2005).[/color]

Looks like the shapes are just slightly different. You could probably ghetto-rig a fit since the tank contour is the same, but it won't fit snugly.

I think someone on this site did put a first gen seat on a second gen, it fit good functionally, but it left a gap under the seat that didn't look good at all.

Are there any aftermarket known seats for the 05 ers? Mine has a slight tear and im redoing a majority of the bike hopefully before the snow and salt be gone....wouldnt mind an upgraded seat...has to be passenger friendly too

No, they're completely different.

Corbin is the only one I'm aware of. A well praised upgrade.

Mine has a slight tear

Most just reupholster.

According to the Kawasaki parts catalogue the seat for Gen 1 and Gen 2 has the same number! 53003. Just saying.

actually, (for the purpose of accuracy only) they are listed with different part numbers. (kawasaki web site)
gen 1, #53001A. with sub part number #53001-159-MA.
gen 2, #53001. with sub part number #53001-1726- MA.

I think the A in number means for gen 1 (A model)

I did look into the Corbin because of someone showing a possible bike purchase in Berkley....but holy damn are they pricey. For the ex I'm seeing the possibility of a two person with a backrest thats removable as the only option which is over 600...backrest would be less than favorable so I wish there was an option to go for just the seat ..but the customizing snd the comfort seem like it would be well worth it someday.
