The seat covers on ebay run you bout 70 bucks shipped, and mine fit perfect and is made of super stong material,
BUT
you can go to a local upholster and get some sturdy vinyl and do the whole job yourself.

8 bucks for the material.
10 bucks for a walmart high quality stapler (if you dont have one)
1 buck for some glue if you are picky about tiny wrinkles (goes on the arch seat arch)

Take your time doing it, and it will look perfect.
Might be a 30min job tops.


Or get the upholster to do it for you for 10-20 bucks and don't buy anything but the materials .

SHIP IT TO ME WITH A CASE OF BUDLIGHT AND ILL DO IT FREE FOR YA

Anyway Spicy, I'm not interested in a seat cover.. so the Ebay thing is a nonissue. I'd look for something on Ebay but there's nothing to be had atm, and that actually plays into why I'd like to pick up a different seat.

I'd like to get a good, stock seat so I know the material I'm getting will do the job and then I can turn back and put my seat onto Ebay with basically no competition from other sellers.

I figure I can come close to even on it, because the seat only actually has the one tear about 3 inches long.

I'm not too interested in recovering myself and risking a botched operation and I'd rather just get the stock look and fit as well as keeping the matching grab strap for my lady friend to use getting on and off the bike.

So in the end, I'm mostly just interested in finding a stock replacement and selling mine back on the bay.

This shows how minor the tear is... not necessarily worth re-covering over such a small tear, imo.

There is no deleted post in this thread. When a post is deleted, it still shows a holder that is visible to moderators. I see them in other threads, but I don't see one here.

The forum could have screwed up and not indexed it properly I guess.

Thx for the comments fellas. I absolutely love this scheme, and it seems to be less common that the others.

My rotors are on here. I got them on another site, who either doesn't carry them now or I'm just failing to find them.

Either way, the fronts are the custom series and my rear is what they call the "off road" rear.
