"The world is a strange sad place. Ride as often as possible and try not to think about it".
yeah got one, it fits sweet as. Definitely grippery than standard, but did see a ktm with knobbly bits sticking out that would be even more so. Article i read said keep the old cover on, does make it easy. And use a good staple gun
I had one on my old bike, was great but I couldn't get it quite right on my own, took it to an upholsterers to do instead (worth the $30 or $40 I paid for the grief saved). Wil def be putting one on the new bike.
guy next to my workshop fits them dose red barrons repair work charge sweet FA as well

i have a one industries one, its good, and its on top of the old seat cover. has a couple of nicks in it now, but you cant really tell because the old cover underneath hides it
You can use a plain bit of gripper material. I ordered it from some place that reckless told me about. Definately leave the old seat cover underneath.
Oh yeah and as with any trade person, offer cash or beers for a cheaper job!!
LOL I know I've not been riding much lately.....
while ago I posted up all the gen on recovering seats here- http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...31#post1925331
as well as Over The Top Adventures - I have a Canvas and upholstery business I can help with gripper vinyl - coloured vinyl- sewing- foam repairs, just ask!
The gripper vinyl I use is the best Ive seen anywhere. better than standard KTM and honda or yamaha gripper material.
Retired- just some guy with a few bikes......
Can you get oversized ones for when you've recovered 5 or 6 times. All the existing covers would be making the seat a little bigger by then.![]()
