After giving me bike a wash the other day i parked it in the shed and all was good. Then two dots later as i walked past i noticed that the seat was cracked I went to my local Kawasaki dealer today for a few other things and while i was there i asked about a new seat cover and after nearly shiting myself i asked him to repeat the price and i did hear right the first time at $175.
So on my merry way i went to the upholster around the corner only to told that i can't get the vinyl to match. Ok says me what can i get that will be similar and we come up with the stuff they use on moto X griper seats Cool how much so after the shock of the bike shop still fresh in my mind iwas then told that to recover 1 seat will cost me just $120 or $220 for both. Now i feeling like i'm going to be shafted hard core and being a glutton for punishment i thought i would try the local trimmer in Warragul. He had the same gripper fabric in stock and will only charge me $80 for both seats so my faith in humanity has been restored :)
i for got to take any pics of the seat before the retrim but hear is the coverhttp://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1254430517.jpg

Tooo much ball sweat will crack your seat like that

you should have brought a stapler ($30) and fabric ($10) , done it yourself and had the equipment to do it again next time. I think the apolster rip of bike riders.Its all so cheap and easy to do.

looks good mate..
i did my pillion seat in that stuff, but reckon its a bit too grippy for the riders, maybe just me tho, find i cant move around easily enough. chicks on the back love it, only prob is there is note of that slap in the back with titties when they slide forward :(
