Hi peeps. Does anyone know where I can get one of these seat covers or even an entire seat like it? I've looked everywhere. Thanks.

Eyup moose,there's a guy in thurcroft,s,yorks who sells seat covers on flea bay around 50 pounds,or I had both my seats done at core which is based in Lincoln,the guys name is eddy and imo he does a cracking job to any design.,good luck.

Where do you live in the UK Moose, as there's a few good seat recovers' across the UK, as an example

http://www.motorbike-seats.co.uk/  who are in Coventry

http://tonyarcher.co.uk/services/bike-seats/  who are in Huddersfield

http://www.viking-motorcycle-seats.co.uk/  who are just down by Brands Hatch

All very good, top work

UPDATE: Just seen you are Kent based. Try Viking, they do a drive in drive out first come first served on a Saturday morning (or used to) or you can make an appointment so they do it whilst you wait (there is a great little cafe next door). Strange seat shop in more ways than one, but I had mine done there, and was very happy with it (I'd previously used Tony Archer, but Viking were nearer for my second set mod). You might also want to consider having Gel pads fitted at the same time, make them way more comfy :)

You could also try digger seat in Newport South Wales who does a swap 1 for 1 and has seats already made up.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

Well, Moose14, I'd not take that one. It's outlook is so cheapish plastic than a seat cover ever can be. Even a broken original looks better in the flesh. You'll be disappointed when You get that in Your hands. Choice something else.   :facepalm:

Yes Moose, check out the google images etc to give you an idea of what the different seats look like on the bikes before you jump in. I'm not a big fan of that style either or any multi coloured seats really (black with the coloured piping is quite subtle though) but as long as you know what it looks like on the bike before getting it done, then you won't have any regrets. :cheers:

Thanks for the input guys, the reason for that one was I nearly got a 14 with something similar on but missed out and ended up getting one with a standard seat. I'm still looking about for ideas at the moment.

so many choices in uk. ride in, ride out seats. not here. my advice, get your seat where you sit cut down a fair bit. easier to ground feet, dont slide back onto pillion. mine is brilliant, best bike seat ive ever  had. we throw on two sheepskins for long rides.
