    You can always be the first one to try an experiment and report back!

    Just a suggestion it is dead easy to do a seat recover yourself you really only need a staple gun, spray on contact glue and hair dryer or a hot day to warm up the vinyl. Use marine grade vinyl $10 TO $15 should buy enough to cover any bike seat. Look around on youtube lots of vid on how to do it. I did mine and it looks just like a brought one. I would put a pic up but I can,t work out who to do it on this forum.

    Cheers Paul. Ive done a fair bit over the years, tolexing guitar amps and speaker boxes also. If its cheap enough id rather just buy it. Actually the last seat cover i bought was for my IT175G and i had a bugger of a time trying to make it fit, i said id never trust another.

    Looks good Adrian. I do have a fetish for leather.

    Ill give it some thought for a couple of weeks, i got plenty of time before im at the seat stage.
