Being a short arse, I am thinking of picking up a secondhand seat and having a go at reducing the height etc..
to enable me to more comfortably reach the ground.
I know the seat was changede for the 97, models ( I think it was just to the look, as in no longer a flat plain look, but I'm not sure )
Anyone know if a Pre 97 seat will just fit on

I have the chance to pick up a seat from a 95 model and was going to try to mod this seat...
Many thanks
Martin

So I don't think it will fit.
	You certainly seem educated enough to ask for some advise, if you wouldn't mind please teejayexc XJ 900, XJ 600 and an XL 250 (recently restored :-) )

Swap wasn't quite a direct fit but I don't think he had to do too much wrangling.
