FlatRacer BMW R90S 1974 dual sports seat - early plain black seat cover
FlatRacer BMW R90S early plain seat cover dual sports seat. First shown in the 1974 BMW R90S and later adopted by the RS/RT ranges plus all the later /7 series such as S, CS, T etc. albeit with a pleated seat cover as the first customers complained this cover caused too much sliding.
This seat proved to be a very popular option, combining an attractive look with comfort and practicality but unfortunately the seat bases are made of steel that after several wet winters, dissolved to crumbling rust.
This pattern seat has been developed by us with the mission of producing a very accurate replica of the highest quality, ditching the metal bases has these rust notoriously. Fits exactly as per the original with a seat base made of sturdy GRP (5-7mm), for corrosion resistance and strength, finished in semi-gloss black, for that original look, extra strong (5-7mm thick), reinforced with 600gr/m2 woven roving (similar to yatch construction methods), flexible yet nigh on unbreakable. No more rusted seats!
Fitted with a very precise and accurate replica of the original seat cover and foam, produced exactly in the same dimensions as BMW designed it over 40 years ago. Upholstered with a standard PLAIN black seat cover, which is correct for the early R90S (1974) but can be fitted to all the later R90S and all the /7 Series (76-84).
Other seat covers options available including the later R90S pleated cover, the later 1978 Motorsport Blue and an off-white cover, similar to the 1979 R100 RT albeit with the earlier pleated pattern. Please check our other listings for these options.
Special care was given to the edges and drilling points with each seat assembly individually checked and finished by hand by us. All the captive threaded nuts are present (M5) in order to fit the original or our pattern seat cowl, exactly in the same positions as the original BMW seat.
The seat base is pre-trimmed and drilled to accept the original service booklet lid (fitted for illustration purposes only - no longer available new from BMW). It also includes our own upgraded stainless steel hinges, zinc plated steel locking rod and its conical rubber stop, all the rubber stops fitted on the base (bolt on allowing adjustment via spacers if required) plus all the necessary seat fasteners, including those for the cowl, in stainless steel, pre-fitted.
