Sport Seat lumbar bladder replacement interest - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Young1 · 05-14-2022

The OEM style lumbar seat bladders are NLA. I installed a prototype lumbar seat bladder before I went to the Bowling Green Gathering several days ago. It was tested throughly by my large frame for 35 hrs and did its job well. It does not require removing and installing hog rings in the seat back. What is needed is changing the small hose configuration. How much interest would there be at $55.00 each shipped?

Thanks. Pictures will come after I perfect the hose connections. Maybe today.

Will the functions remain OE style?

I am interested as well. Bring a bunch to Carlisle so we can have a hotel parking lot project while having a few cold ones! Some things never change.............

The replacement bladder. I repurpose the small elbows from the old bladder.

Inserting bladder into seat back. No fasteners necessary.

Seat back installed with elbow back in seat base corner

I repurpose the tubing. Cut it from connectors with a razor blade, trim as necessary then pass tubing over a Bic lighter several times to soften to slip tubing on fitting. Takes an hour tops per seat. How many shall I order?

It is even easier if you yet have the oem bladder in the seat back. 3 tubes go to oem bladder. Two tubes connect to the Young1 bladder with the OEMs bladder elbows. The third is plugged with a small screw. Done.
