I recovered the seat on the 92 not long back and found this cover to be awesome. The upholsterer that did it for me said the material was of high quality and great value for money. They are of course pre cut and ready to be stapled straight on.

Moved her from in back of the Explorer so I don't accidentally back over her thus avoiding much gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair

Default Front end nearly finished

Well weather been crap for a couple of weeks but still been in garage and front end nearly complete. So took forks off put new oil and dust seals and fork oil. Then fitted new tapered steering head bearings, repainted the front wheel and added some gold rim tape with some special order wheel rim CBR logos. Moved on to brakes new caliper seals and pads with some new wavey discs happy with the look so far. Moved to handlebar area, repainted master cylinders with gold covers, new gold braided brake lines, new indicator mirrors, new gold Renthal handlebars, new grips and new indicator mirrors. Next rust proofed the down pipes and repainted with high temp paint. Fitted new separate white faced speedo with a 5 inch Rev counter. Made brackets for twin CIBIE headlights taken from a GPZ600 FAIRING and fitted to new 5 3/4 black headlamp shells. Chopped wiring and fitted new connectors.
To do to finish front end, front mudguard came chopped and has been rubbed down ready for top coat of gloss black with gold PRO BOLT fairing bolts to fix. Warninig lights bracket with separate LED coloured lights.
Oil cooler to be repainted and mounted below headlights, rad and fan to be painted so yes been pretty busy lately needed some warmer weather for the laying down of some paint. Theme as you can see will be black with gold accents
