Is there a good place to find a replacement cover for my beard seat? I think its an old ATV Racing seat. The cover has rubbed through on the bolsters and is getting worse. A few years ago i had gotten ahold of someone at beard and they were able to get a cover, but it was more than i wanted to spend on a seat cover at that time. I tried sending an email to the same contact at beard but the email address was dead. I also tried sending an email through their website and calling their sales line but nobody has messaged me or called me back.

Last I checked they wanted about 200$ for a seat cover. The Beard super seat is not much more than that. (About 250$ range I’ve found them) so it’s a toss up whole new seat of just the cover. I priced a couple places here in Vegas and they wanted even more for the seat cover.

Ill have to try Kartek and see what they say. If nothing else im sure there is someone local that will recover it, i was just hoping to find something that i could put on myself some evening.

Im really kinda disappointed that Beard wont even call or email me back at least telling me they wont support a seat that old.

Some planned obsolescence going on here. They want you to buy another overpriced seat :(

Pacific customs has a suspension seat very similar to the beard, probably $100 less, I think the brand name is RaceTek?, if you think the cover will fit, I have a brand new one, I'd want about 3/4 of the retail price plus shipping, if your want to try and didn't work you just need to get it back to me.
I also have a new frame, the suspension part needs to be reworked.
