Everybody jumped on the Mega Tail Light issue and the seat foam question went nowhere. I am in the same boat re the seats. Every week, I vacuum large quantities of pulverized seat foam that has dribb

I restored my '78 seat foams and covers last year, and while it was somewhat expensive, it was very much worth the cost. I saved some money by ordering the parts during the winter, when interior part

Steve, the foams will disintegrate gradually, and, as with everything gradual, you will not notice (e.g. the way shock absorbers go gradually - you never notice until they start spewing fluid out). T
