Can you? Doubt I'll be able to get one for my bike that easy, and it's comfortable.

Do it your self with gripper material. I do all of mine and my sons bike you just need a hand staple gun. Go to Wiggins & co, 5 Druces road, Manukau. Ph 499-5000.
I bought 2 metres honda red and same in black, gripper material for $15.90 per metre. Thats bloody cheap compared to a bought seat cover. They have red, black and blue I think.

Cheap as to do yourself and easy too.All you need is the covering and a staple gun.
Butynol is also good for seat covers too.You can print a vinyl pic on butynol before you apply cover and they last forever.
A new aftermarket cover can be expensive but are usually avaliable from most bike shops .Approx $100-$130
A new cover custom made would usually set you back between $50-$80.
Do it yourself would cost apporox $20 like reckless said.
