I fancied having mine done in alcantara, but does this not soak up the rain? I dont fancy getting a soggy arse :whistle:

You never know Kris, one day I might look at the ten day long range weather forecast wrongly and get caught in drizzle!
OMG then it would take me a month to re-clean it.

Youve got a very valid point though..... :roll:

It was a while ago, but it was between £40 and £50 for the two. including the red strap. A bargain if you ask me, very robust and helps to stop you crunching the nuts while braking hard, lol.

i use AJ's Trimming - as i said, he does alot of show cars etc & he is the ball-bags @ what he does.

you would want to speak to Andrew & his tel no is: 01628 530257 or go to: http://www.ajtrimming.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

he'll be doing my spare riders seat before the start or summer (when i get round to it!)

even if the bike isn't used in the rain you'll have to be bloody carefully washing it and i'm sure it'll not take much water for it to feel damp, then it'll smell.

retrim it yeah but in something thats going to be weather proof.
It's not having what you want but wanting what you've got....Loud ,Proud and Modified ....
