MT 6 shift knob modification update and new seat

Attached are a couple of photos and screen shots of the two Ebay sites I found the Chrome 6 speed shift knob and boot retainer for the knob. Cost essthan $20.00 and looks and feels fantastic. On the shift knob website there are lots of options. Just remeber to make sure its tapped for M10x1.5. It was a simple swithout and there are a couple of You Tubevidows on how to do it, Remember to aligh the tabs on the boot retainerswiththe slot on the inside of the metalboot collar.
The leather drivers seat in the photo is fr om anEXL. Big improvemet as it has


Shift knob and leather drivers seat




adjustable lumar support. Again there are You Tube videos on how to swap.Took about an hour with the majority of the time struggling to disconnect the wiring on the bottom of th e seat. Also helsp tp have a second person to help remove and intall the seat

Is that a new seat, or seat cover? If it's a whole new seat: does it have airbags installed? If it's a cover: does it disable or obstruct the OEM bags in the seat? I'd love to find a better fitting seat.

The new drivers seat

I put the EXL leather driver's seat in my EX. it came complete with airbags. The EXL leather seat has lumbar support adjustment, so I did not use a Karskin seat cover. The lumbar support is a nice option. I found it on eBay. They come up ever often.
