Will the Zong seat fit the XT225 and is it a better seat?
Spud and other Zong ridders.
Wonder if a Zong seat will fit the XT225 assuming it's a better seat? How is the seat on the Zong? The seat on my XT225 is a butt killer. I've tried all the usual solutions ( sheep skin, gel pad, Stearns ATV seat cover) with little relief. I using a bead rider now which is the best solution I've come up without springing for a after market seat. |

I only know 1/2 the answer.
The Zong has an excellent seat. The best seat I've ridden on a small motorcycle. If it fits or not I don't know, but I know who will...

Yeah, there are tons of over priced parts from that seller. for instance a front brake rotor for 60 bucks.

I was hoping that with the all the XT225 parts that Spud has on his Zong that the seat might fit but it's not a complete clone?
So the bead rider cover stays and the search continues. Thanks for the answers. Bead rider on my XT225. Especially nice on hot days. |

try checking with a local shop. maybe you could have it recovered and add some good thick foam while your at it. it may be cheaper than buying a whole new seat.

I frequently see guys advertising on CL that offer seat recovering and custom work for around $50.
