Stock looks best, and the best-quality and best-looking repop also happens to be the cheapest. With free shipping, here:

I had Texavina make me a seat for my ‘75 but had them change the stitch pattern to more closely resemble an xs2. No extra charge for that.

Looks great 
Looks like a seat off a RE… not very attractive.
Have one ordered. I have used a number of these.
Don't ship outside of the USA.
What a bummer !
Same seat available in Europe for about €300 I think, plus shipping, plus VAT

My xs came with a dead cool seat 
, though it was a bit shabby. Unfortunately I couldn't find a new cover for it.
So I just kept looking on eBay until a suitable standard second hand one came up. It was solid enough, but needed recovering and the pan repainting.
There's a great post in the tech section by mailman on recovering a seat. It wasn't too difficult and cost me less than £100.

Sorry meant less than £100 in total. Second hand seat and new cover.
Whoohoo ! Just got a brand new Heiden tuning seat for £160 shipped.
Made in Taiwan, so I'm assuming that this is the same seat that XS650.com sells.
Price from Heiden is €246 plus shipping, and I think that VAT would have to added at 20%.
It's very good quality, but still not as good as the Yamaha original, unfortunately.
I've also bagged what is apparently a Diablo Cycles seat cover for £30. Also made in Taiwan, and looking identical to the cover on the repop seat.
Made in the same factory in Taiwan ?
