I have no idea. From the pic the shape looks close enough to make it work, but who knows if the pic is correct. If the length or width are wrong, the lines won't be in the right place and it will look funky.

I took my KTM seat to a local upholstery shop and explained the pain it was causing me.

They added foam in all the right places and covered it with a plain black material. No more pain in the a$$.

Just another option. If you want color or graphics, not a good option.

They could probably get colors and sew up a cover for some more money if you had to have it.

I plan on getting an upholstery shop to sew me up a seat cover for my 88 in the stock color then with a stencil I'm going to paint Kawasaki on the sides with white upholstery paint.

Email Tony at info@ceetracing.com <info@ceetracing.com>; and explain to him what color you want and he'll make you a cover. Your bike may not be listed on the site but he has the pattern for the older kdx's and will make one for you. He made this cover for my '03 CR/KDX hybrid in the original 1990 Kawasaki Orbit Blue, took a couple of weeks and charged me $ 69 delivered priority mail. He even made it with the gripper black material in the center for me. On the site Kawasaki blue isn't listed as available on a Honda seat but if you contact him he'll make you whatever you want and is very reasonably priced.

I need a seat cover made for my Kawasaki X2, and maybe my KD also, that's why I was just going to get it done at one of the two shops just up the street from me. Plus the 88 cover is really simple with only one seam across the back.
