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.

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.
