    If you are just wanting to recover I would suggest Chacal but if you want upgrade your seat, I went with one from J.C Whitney. It is a nice comfortable seat made by Saddleback. I believe it was a little over $100

    Might I suggest having your seat recovered professionally; and maybe even recontoured and "up-foamed" in the process?

    These folks: http://www.sargentcycle.com/custserv.htm have done two seats for me so far. One a "stock" recover job (although I added a colored welt) and the other a custom recontour/recover with 'atomic foam' added. They did a superlative job on both; and the stock recover wasn't the least bit expensive; I could barely have done it myself for what I paid.
