I just received my XGX graphics and new plastic and I am trying to see if the graphics will fit the shrouds. They look pretty close to being right but a little off. Has any one used this combo before? Or had there graphics from XGX not fit right. Also anyone tried using there stock seat cover with the tall Ceet foam? On Dave's site he says it will work but there is not much extra material on my cover. My bike is a 03 220

I don't know about your saddle specifically, but I wrassled with an XR650 tall foam and a seat cover supposedly for tall foam - which had VERY little to spare - and wished I hadn't.

It can be done though, just make sure the kids aren't there to hear you.

.....and use a good hair dryer or heat gun to loosen things up. Plan on sore thumbs for about a week! :yikes:

I applied my XGX to my stock shrouds...
If I remeber, just about every set of shroud graphics I ever applies wer allways slightly off. I just used a hair dryer and worked them into place...

Make sure you let them dry a while.. I didn't once and the graphics floated a bit...

Just take the seat + cover to an auto upholstery shop. This will save you much stress!

Well I tried to put my graphics on tonight and they are more than a little off. If I line up the 2 bottom holes the top hole is off by more than 1/2". I guess I will call XGX and see what they have to say. I feel bad because they have already sent me out a new set when I was not happy with the color of the 1st set.
I did the seat on my old DR and no it is not a fun time. I was hoping someone could tell me if the stock cover will fit with the tall foam. Thanks for the input Jim

My XGX Graphics lined up pretty well on my stock shrouds...maybe a little off on one of the mounting holes. Xacto knife = problem solved.

I was able to reuse the stock seat cover with the Ceet tall foam, just thought I would pass this along.
