My KDX came to me with a CEET seat but it's torn. Anyone know if they still make seats for a KDX or can recommend a good seat cover. Factory seat Ida little pricey.....

Thanks Flanker! You rock! I think I would prefer the black! With my green frame and tank.....that's a lot of green with a green seat!! Mine is black top and white sides with green stripes. Looks cool! Maybe I can make a tall black work. I will call them!

I used a Cycle Works Gripper seat cover. This is 5th season now with it on. Was a complete PITA to put it on but its worked great.

I Just ordered a new CEET gripper cover straight from them. Super nice people. And he said....and I quote " you are gunna need to stretch the sh@t out of it when you put it on!"...lol

$44 plus shipping

I have a cycle works gripper cover on my hybrid. Great material and such, but it's funny that SPD mentioned that brand cover. a BITCH of an install. I have a CEET gripper on my KDX. I love it, and it was WAY easier to install. Both are great covers IMO, lasted through many spills and ghost rides up hill climbs.

CEET would be my choice again.

Good to know! Thx! I hope it's as easy as you say. I was thinking of just using my standard heavy duty staple gun? Just keeping the foam on it now. I may shave it a hair. Any other issues?

iver used regular spring loaded hand powered staple guns before

no issue yet...just be sure the crown on the staples is shallow enough or you wont spend much time on your new seat cover

I just want to make sure I understand......do not let the staples go in too deep?
