Some very early red tank 74 had the short low foam and quickly  went to the short tall foam on the MX... still found the short low on some enduros....the 1974.5 had a mix of short tall and long tall foam ...the foam on E-Bay is formed off a 1977 foam...the fender molded area is not as deep on this foam for for the Stock seat base but will work with some cutting of the foam and a force fit.

This at one point was my 74 HS.  It is a 12/73 build date so an early one.  Short/low seat as original.  Does that help?



Short low from my 1972 Jackpiner.



I might have an extra 72 seat but I don't know if they interchange.

I have very good used bases foams old covers and a new repo cover $50 a item... or can make you a complete seat.

Mr Gooddirt: you can put a seat together for me including the mounting brackets on the seat? The repo seat cover your talking about,how does it look? (org). How much complete and ready to bolt on ? You can shoot me a email. Thanks Toolsurfer[ quote]Originally posted by gooddirt

Nice bikes Marsattacks, That 250 is similar to mine and that Jackpiner looks similar to the one I had back in 1980, I think it was a 1973 or 1974 and would love to find it. The first thing I noticed between your and mine is mine has provisions for multipile mounting location of rear shocks but very similar at a glance. Mine is June 1974. What about that extra seat

[gooddirt]

Your bike would be the later 1974.5 model and could of had the short tall(they were using up old inventory)and most likely had long tall style if you want to go OEM...

gooddirt : Your right and I think that's what was on it when I look at the pictures. It you have a good seat with hardware, what's the $$. I appreciate the help.
