ok so I have this old seat and it needs a neww cover...as some of you guys say at SLOIII it was'nt all that good as a matter of fact it sucked eggs. so today I set out to rectify that and here is some pictures. I'm ok with the results being the firsst seat I've ever redone so it didn't turn out that bad. I think the next one I will need to open the "ears" up on it a bit more so that I have a better lay across the front of the seat. theis whole "seat project took me about an hour and, I don't know maybe it shows but like I said I'm happy with the first attempt.


this is what I atarted with

this after I got it on. you can see where it wrinkles up a bit


the back end looks really good

its stapled down but thats what I was told to do

here it is on the bike

you not seeing things I painted it while I was working on the seat



so there it is. the hardest part like I said is the front of the seat. but the trick to getting it nice and taught is pull then staple air stapler is recommended. but be carefull you don't shoot it thru the seat ( i did with one staple) and have the leather warm...warm = pliable irt stretches better that way you can get a good tight fit
