RE: new, or recover my old seat?
 
So.. I just went to a fabric shop and bought a meter of black vinyl, same sortof stuff that comes on the seats factory. Anyways, it cost me 5$ and then I just cut it down to size and stretched it over the foam and stapled it all in place. Why spend $50+ when you can do it yourself for less then $5 and a bit of time strectching out the vinyl to fit and look good. I will post pics later maybe once I get the seat back on the bike tonight.

sy, why? cause alot of people dont have time, ability, desire... good job !!!!!!!!!! for anyone else, giving a simple "pull job" a shot, alot like stretching plastic wrap, on a bowl !!!!!! hair dryers, always make it easyier, and can you get stainless steel staples, for that "home job?" UV stabilized marine materials, will always hold up better too, (seldom found at fabric stores.) Just like Sy, give it a try !!!!!!! Good job !!!!!!!!!!!! Clean and free, Ripp'n
