Tribo seat cover
Anyone used a Tribo seat cover for the riders seat? I was hoping they did one which fitted in the same way as the pillion seats (slips over the top and then tightened with a drawstring) but they only have one that clips on. Anyone got a picture of one on a pointy as I want to make sure it won't look pap!
Cheers!

Re: Tribo seat cover
maybe a silly question but why do you want this for the riders seat? i find it easyer being able to slide on the riders seat.

Re: Tribo seat cover
Not a silly question. I know some people like to be able to slip around to different positions in the seat. My hanging off days are over though so I tend to keep my ar$e in one position.
I find that on bumpy roads I gradually end up slipping so my precious bits are right up against the tank. Granted there is a suspension issue here as the high speed damping is too hard at the back but I can't afford to replace the chosck with something decent. So, while I'm waiting for it to go all soft and squidgy as it wears out (it's done 10000 miles so I wish it would hurry up!) I was after something to stop me slipping in the seat.

Re: Tribo seat cover
Get yourself down to woolworths and pick up a roll of the stuff (about £5) and make your own with a staple gun, if you must have something to stop the sliding about (enough for about three seats on a roll).
Cheers Mark.

Re: Tribo seat cover
Didn't realise you could just buy the stuff! Thanks Mark.
It's always fun using a staple gun as well! Excellent!
