pmski Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) Looking for any advice with fitting a homemade seat to a trials bike. As a test I strapped a seat of a KTM SX with a bit of foam onto my Beta Evo 300 and liked the results - I can still stand up but I can also ride the bike a bit like a crosser/enduro bike and get my foot out and corner the bike (old habits die hard). Has anyone else tried this and what seat did you use. I was thinking about buying a Stomp pit bike seat and see how that fits as the KTM seat is a bit too wide. I am using the bike whilst I recover from a bad injury (MX) and really liking the trials bike but sometimes would like to add a seat so I can corner the bike. I know beta do a seat/tank aftermarket product and this was one of the reasons why I bought a Beta, But it is ££££! Pic of the frakenbike below - thoughts appreciated Edited September 22, 2013 by pmski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlameOut Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 Your post is from 10 years ago. Have you perfected a seat for the Evo. I am in the process of doing the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 This post interests me. I have a 2023 Gas Gas TXT 300 and I had the dealership order the Gas Gas seat for the TXT model. I didn't fit the 2023. Only up to 22 and down. The bolt hole is different since KTM redesigned some things. I bought a Jitsie universal seat. It works but I wish it were taller. I think the Beta has an optional long ride kit but it's pricey. Any word on new seat kits to come out? I sure wish Gas Gas would update the available parts to fit the 2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
