The 73 300 used the same flat seat as the 73 JDX and 74 JDX special.

The flat seats were sewn together, not molded like the ones with the hump on the back.

Is this seat original or recovered? It's on my '74 300. Thanks in advance.

FYI for 530JD...The 300 was first made for 1974 but might have a '73 build date.

You're right Todd but someone would have to photoshop the blue goose out of the picture :dance:

The visible white stitches make me think this seat was recovered. I've got a spare good flat seat if anyone needs one.

Thanks guys for the compliments on the X4, that pic was taken a couple of years ago up at my buddies cabin in the Upper Penisula of Michigan. We ran back over there to find snow when the 2007 HOF Ride was cancelled due to lack of snow in Wisconsin.

Yes Don, the big blue goose (2003 Yamaha RX1) really got in the way on that one.

JD600, I sent you a PM on the photo.
