Ive got a spring loaded stapler the ones used for roofing, and ive also got an electric one but that things a joke. I just tried and the staples just bent or only went in like half way with the spring one. Any suggestions?

I did mine with acraftmans electric staple gun.I went to the craft store got a yard of black tweed took one piece to to a embroidery shop and had 900RR stitched in yellow on it "back seat". Then i covered the bare foam with plastic wraped the seat with the tweed and CLICK CLICK done. I put the plastic on the seat cause tweed really wont absorb water well and if it rains all i have to do is slap the seat real hard 2-3 times and it dry's allmost like it never rained

I just checked your pictures, probably shoulda done that first. Turned out nice man good touch, does that add any grip for the passenger? I get alot of complaints my seat is to slippery, my passengers are also always sliding around and cruching my nuts on the gas tank

yes it adds lots of grip for the passenger to much for the drivers seat tho.. And just to add i have issues if you look close there is a bump/hump on the back seat and at 5grand my 900 buzzzzzzzzzzzz alot so girls love and hate me i clued extra foam to the seat and used sandpaper to make it smooth.....
