My original seat is almost at the end of life. So I'm wondering whether to use the original cover or some custom ones. So show off and give me inspiration. B
End of life ????????? How so ??????????
Started cracking :whatever:
.
I ordered some leatherette? off ebay, got a big stapler & did this when the original cover split.
It's more comfy & more grippy especially in the wet. I prefer a plain seat so it's a win all round.
When having my seat done the original pattern was reproduced.
New cover and 7.5mm of memory foam .
Looking great Seth. Can you post photo without cover? Thx
I'll do asap I think it was one of grumpy's covers from eBay.

Sorry yes grizzly's seat cover I'd put the wrong name before I realised I couldn't change it .
I glued extra foam and shaped it. Cover made by ulphostery shop, cca 30€

I can't rate Grizzley Adams highly enough when it comes to doing seats :onya:
When I bought the 1400, the Original seat was modified by previous owner and was overly firm and the vinyl was incredibly slippery, so ended up buying a nice secondhand seat from a wrecker and bought a cover for it while I fixed up the original.
This is the second seat with a new cover.
Then I set about modifying the original seat and re-sculpted it to suit me and my wife and then had it custom upholstered by the local upholstery place - where the owner also owns and rides bikes. So he was able to do what I wanted.
Looks very plush bud :onya: :onya:

Raised 50mm at the front and 30mm at the rear refoamed with the firmest available and recovered with grippy vinyl, couldn`t be happier with the outcome
@V_i_c_i Here's the picture of my seat with the cover off the back .
It's got extra foam on the front ( riders seat ) as the foam was well worn after 50000 miles
Cheers
Does anyone have exprience of Le Sellerie (french) seats or Just Bandits seats for GSX or for some other bike?
