Check my profile there are some pics of my covers in there. I believe the pics are custom ones I had done but before that I wrapped my passenger seat in a vinyl material from Jo-Ann fabrics (a arts and crafts store here) and a staple gun. I did use longer staples thou I forgot what size.

If you're not a fan of the wrap around things, I just purchased a matching plastic replacement by Targa I believe from superbikestore.com you may have to send them an email as they have to special order them in but they're the best in my opinion and fit/match the bike perfectly.

I just bought a seat cover from these guys a couple days ago. They said when it arrived, if I don't like it I can always return it and get my money back. Plus it was only $20 bucks shipped. Well...it arrived and I was VERY IMPRESSED. I got the black color...I wanted to keep the stock look. Here's the link and you can check it out to see if it is what you're looking for. It fits very nicely and the quality is actually quite decent.

It does not come with the strap. You use the strap from your original seat. The strap is only held in by two nuts. And as far as installation of this seat cover, it's actually pretty easy....took me maybe 10 mins to replace the cover, reinstall the strap and that was it.

I actually did the installation yesterday afternoon, if you want me to post couple pics of the new seat cover I can, but you literally cannot tell the difference between stock and this seat cover....especially since I went with black vinyl, but the other colors should look quite superb if you want something different from stock.

I'd love to see some pics.
These wrap things have always looked kind of cheap compared to the Targa's so if you've made it work I'd like to check it out.
