yes any kdx200 seat cover from 89-94. A cover for a kx500 from '89 on will fit. Good luck the gripper seats are nice.

Ceet makes a gripper for the KDX. The part number is KDXGripper (not such a leap of thought there). I have one on my '91 and it looks great.

I got mine from a mail order house like Dennis Kirk.
I have ridden, and plan on riding often, at Paragon. I'm going to try to get there once a month this year. I'd also like to check-out Tower City, Roush and Jack Frost - although from what I hear Paragon is the best of them.
Where in PA are you? I grew up in Tannersville.

I called Dennis Kirk and they said they don't have one for the '89-'94s. Will a '95-'03 fit? I checked CEET to and couldn't find anything. Help?
I grew up in Lititz - north of Lancaster. Tower City is like an hour from there and I've been going since I rode 3-wheelers...basically since I could walk.
Things have changed around a lot since then, but its still a blast. There's tons of variety with woods, open, and hill climbs. Lots of challenges!!
I'm in State College now so the trip is about 2 1/2 hours but well worth it.
I've been to Rausch its right up the street from Tower, but I haven't ridden there. Its $25 a day and mostly tracks. They have some hare scramble tracks now too - I plan on checking those out this year.
A couple friends of mine run Jeeps at Paragon and they also say its the best off-roading place. I gotta check that place out too. Do you need a membership to ride there?
cya on the trails!!

You're right. I checked Ceet's web site and they no longer list a KDX of any year. Even if you can find one, the '95+ will not work. Try calling Ceet directly and see if they have one sitting around. I'ts worth the effort because my seat is awesome.
There is a big ride planned at Paragon on May 3 & 4. Check it out under the places to ride forum. It's listed as the Damn Yankee Dirt Riders. No membership is required to ride at Paragon. Bikes and ATV's are charged $25 per day. Well worth the price.
I think the hare scramble loop at Rausch Creek is actually on Tower City's land. There is some kind of sharing going on there.
I'll let you know when I'm heading to one of the trails off the I-81 corridor.

I was looking at CEET's website, and they do still list seat covers for older KDX's Go to http://www.ceetracing.com/text/seats/kawasakiseats.html and click on "KX Stock" for instance, and scroll down. There's a choice for "KD002 KDX 200 89-94 BLUE"
They don't have a gripper listed, but at least they have a stock replacement.
Rocky Mountain (www.rockymountainmc.com) also lists the CEET Standard seat cover for 89-94 KDX200's.

Ah Ha. You can still get the Gripper for the E model KDX's. It's the same cover for the '88 and up KX500's. Ceet's model number is KX528. It's a black gripper with green graphics on the sides. You can check it out at ceetracing.com. Look for KX Gripper with Logo. It sells for $69.95.
I have this cover and it is well worth the money.

I stand a lot as well, but I do use the seat when I turn. The gripper seat has the grip material along the sides of the seat so you can rest your upper thigh against the seat and it stays planted to the bike.
And when I get tired after a long time riding I do like to sit.
Oh, most importantly, the Gripper seat looks cool.

Yes it definitely looks a lot cooler than the stock blue seat.
It's also functional. When you're standing it helps to stabilize like Gary said.
I also like to pull some pretty good sized hills and it helps to have a gripper seat - helps to keep me forward!

I'ts 90% grippy. There is a smooth graphic on the rear quarters that I have never found to be a problem. This is really a great seat cover.
Guts also makes nice covers for our generation.....Didn't know the 88-01 ceet gripper would work :(

SmokinRZ,
I would be interested in your seat cover. Do you think it will fit an 89KDX200? Also what color is it? If you want to work out purchase details, please e-mail me at [email protected].
Finally, are you an RZ350 fan (I swear I've seen your name on the RZ forum)? I'm restoring one right now and they are a blast!
