hey everyone im curious how hard is it to reupholster my seat . i have a 98 cbr 600 F3. (bannana seat) and id rather do it myself if i can because to get professionaly redone is like $120, and i cant fin da good used condition 97/98 seat. is it just like doing a car seat (fabric, hog rings etc).. i wanted to see if anyone has done this before i rip into my bike .. thanks in advance !

 

i am doing the seat for my bike tonight and thats pretty funny i just went to Jo-ann fabric tonight and bought 3 yds of black vinyl to do my seat. it was 11.00... the place i went to said 45.00 to do it... i am going to spray glue it over the foam then pull it tight and use a air stapler to secure it to the seat frame(stapler 19.99 harbor frieght..the spray glue is to keep it tight against the foam..

 

so is it looking as easy as it sounds?

 

well i am sitting on my couch and havent had the energy todo it yet.. so yeah its looking easy..real easy..
but i have done my 4 wheeler and dirt bike seats before and its not that bad...

 

good **** , i might have to do it this week. because lemme tell yea nothing worse then trying to holla @ a cute girl with your rear seat all tore up ! lmao

 

yeah i hear ya. or spending over 1000.00 on your bike in the off season to make it look show quality and having a ripped up seat! i am probably going to do it in the morning buti will put up pics and lessons learned

 

thanks ill look forward to it .. good luck hope it goes well for you

 

It isnt hard. I didmy RR's and granted they are smallers seats, but same idea. I did a write up on those a while back.

 

https://cbrforum.com/m_212719/tm.htm..... did you use a regular staple gun or a air one?

 

I...screwed with the banana seat yesterday on my F2...did not really have enough time after installing the Scorp and FE kit, but this is exactly what I am looking to do. Make a banana seat not even remotely resemble a...well banana.

I never thought of or knew about car upholstry...(wtf are Hog Rings?)

Can someone who does a banana seat to something like this...post how they did it?

I thought of cutting the seat pan in half...but...well...
