seat cover...
 

Ok just sat on bike to ride home from mrs and seat was frozen, sat on it and it ripped.

So now need to recover seat, what seems to be best and cheapest stuff to use? How much it cost and where can i get it from?

Cheers :D

well the cheapest will be a bit of vinyl and a staple gun, however buglux do a range of either single or multi coloured covers.

Here's a buglux one fitted to the SV ( although originally intended for A gxsr).

and because it's elasticated you can move it to another bike, here's the same one on the Triumph.

Another way is to get a seat cover for something else and cut & staple it to fit.

Here's a lambretta one fitted to the Triumph seat, cost £3 off ebay, how cheap do you want it ?

Bit of imagination is all it takes.

what things around the house would be suitable, take into account i dont live in b&q lol

Re: seat cover...
 

if you have one of those soft holdall things that might do ?, or of course you could use an old leather jacket ( but be warned they hold water so "wet seat syndrome"), has to be fairly heavy duty, and you'll need to borrow a heavy duty staple gun.

Cheers Mark.

I redid my Virago's seat using a couple of horrible 70s vinyl seat cushions :cool: Very fetching.
