 If you are riding and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast. |

I believe the texture of the vinyl changed and the passenger seat got that new material as well, so if you only change one there could be very slight difference in apperance |

I don't think the "Make in USA" label on the back of the passenger seat made it through the change either.

Thanks for the info. Was thinking of ordering the Original seat and wasn't sure when it changed.  |

I have the newer single seat and like it much better then the 99 double seat.
I sit lower and more comfortable with the single.

I took the advice of many here on the forum and replaced the seat on my '97 standard with the '00 seat- much less slipping forward and considerably more comfortable. $ well spent.

Same here, 2000 seat on a 97 and yes on the texture difference between the two. Passenger seat still original. I am glad I made the change and still a hundred bucks. |
