Hey guys,

For my project I'm in need of a complete seat assembly for a 1981 atc200 and I would like to know if there's any other seat that could work. Can't seem to find one around here.
I believe the seat is the same for the 1980 ATC185 and 1981-1982 ATC200, is there any other models that would work or even a completely different seat with some slight modifications, like this "universal" cheapy, (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorcycle-Foam-Seat-Pit-Quad-Dirt-Bike-ATV-For-Racing-4-Wheeler-50CC-125CC/254653275572?hash=item3b4a849db4%3Ag%3A1IAAAOSwlVB fDT5P&LH_Auction=1) as an example.
The rear pins for the seat are 5" 1/2.

Thank you for any help.

Those are unique years with unique frames. Metal seat pans on the older ATCs are their Achilles' heel. Unless you can build something, you're going to look and wait, then pay through the nose for one. You're in a jam.

An ATC with a good seat pan can make a difference between a rider and a parts trike, because of the current prices for good pans.

I'll have a look around, if anybody has any other tips, would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks for the answer, next week I'm going to start making one in fiber glass and see if it holds up
