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..

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...
