Just edited many of the posts within this thread. Not a huge deal, but lets keep this friendly. There are other sites that the language runs rampart. I (we) try to limit it here.
Lets keep this civil please...

I guess you missed the part where I said I've had a black seat cover for years, and it's never once gotten too hot? And what about the guys who've ran SEM paint on their boat seats for years with no peeling or fading?
Look, like I said, I don't care if you agree with me. But it's too bad you have to be such a * about it. If it's THAT important to you, you had every opportunity to make me a fair offer on the cover. You talk as if these covers are so important to you, but your actions did not follow that. You could have put your money where your mouth is, but you did not. Therefore, it's my cover to do with what I please.
Now I'm thinking of starting a business of finding hump seats, painting them, and selling them for profit. So, if you see some for sale around here, you better make a good offer on them instead of just talking a big game. When people ask how I came up with the idea, I will tell them it all started with your sh*tty attitude. :thumbsup:

Go for it, man. I've done my homework on the SEM paint, it's good stuff if you do it right. Plus you really don't have too much to lose.

Yea, I researched this topic and read that people do have good, lasting results with this. Prepwork seems key, so I'll definitely not skimp on that. I have all the paint already, so I might as well try it. There is no way it can look worse than it does now. IDK what happened, but the white seat backs are a hideous, non-uniform grey. It's terrible. And if they do peel, well, I guess then I'll go ahead and recover them, I'm just all out of spare cash after buying all the other stuff I needed for this boat project. Besides, I will probably need to buy more parts for the skis for the meet-up next month.
Cool, let me know how it turns out! I've had to recover my boat seats before, so I know how expensive that can be. If you can do it right with the SEM, you'll be saving a huge amount of money, and it'll still look great.

HAHAHAHA wow PMS much. Don't post a painted seat and say I know I'm going to get flamed and then not expect it. You have me mixed up there bud, I made you no offer. I only stated my opinion that you ruined a good hump seat with a rattle can. I said its yours to do what you wish, only stated my opinion. You asked everyone's opinion on the seat and everyone told you what they thought. This is the route you chose?? I also tried to explain to you why we feel the way we do about oem parts like this, apparently you do not share our passion.
Good luck with your wonderful business venture into the rattle can seat market. I wish you luck

I don't have you mixed up at all. I know you didn't make an offer. I'm saying if the seat is THAT important to you, you should have made an offer. If not, then you can't complain about a rare hump seat being "ruined." Put your money where your mouth is instead of just talking about it.
Also, just because I don't share your views on seats doesn't mean I'm not passionate about SeaDoos. To me, I made the seat better. Just like a guy who takes a 66 vette that's in bad shape and repaints it. That, to me, is not ruining the car. However, I totally understand and respect where racerxxx is coming from and I don't mind his responses at all, as he made his opinions clear in a non-dbag ish way. You should take notes from him.

I wasn't saying you aren't passionate about Seadoo, I said "oem parts like this". It's your seat bud and yours to do anything you wish. Not trying to be an ass, it just kills me to see a decent 95 hump seat get painted. That is all. Not trying to get you all wound up.
I don't need another hump seat, I have enough. (Well I guess there is no such thing as enough)
I don't recall you offering it up forsale though?

Happened in june so still not 100% . that was result of me taking on a john boat head on about 50-60mph combined speed on narrow winding river with lots of blind turns. 4 severed tendons, compound fracture, destroyed radius and ulna obv. 2 surgeries and a week in the hospitol later, seem to be holding together so far. Wish i had the gopro on that day holy shhhh!
It's all good man. Did not mean to go off on you. We are all passionate about seadoos and that's the main thing. Just didn't want people thinking I don't care about my ski or don't respect it. I put more time in working on it and riding than most.

I like my UMI bars, they are wide but not too wide and they don't have much backsweep so they are fairly straight across.
A lot of people use Renthal and Pro Taper motocross bars, they are wider with more upsweep and would have a different feel. If you ride dirt bikes or quads they might feel more natural to you. It's going to depend on what you think feels best, combo of width, rise, backsweep and upsweep.

oooooh shiny i like :driving:
i use pro taper and UMI bars, any 7/8" bar will work, its the common and standard size.
i think one of mine has the "YZ low" pro tapers
