    Can you get a seat recovered?

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

    Shouldn't be that hard. My dad makes them up, but he is in Napier.

    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.
    Always understate and over deliver !Never overstate and under deliver.
