Default recovering seat?

Hi, I have a rip in my front curvy seat so looking to recover it. Has anyone done this? any tips? Where can you get the matching material? Thanks.

I like that, wonder if they do Curvy ones?

Whilst you're recovering it, stick a gel seat pad in at the same time to improve your comfort

The best man in the country, as every bike forum up and down this land recommends him. In the house of Dizz, thre have been two seats recovered or inserted with gel. YC was sent there too, and was happy with the result of his RD400
