Re: VFR400 rebuild
My mate just had his Ducati seat done in Alcantara. Says riding it is 10x better but he has to flee from the rain now! It's like a sponge!
A roaring V4 is the summer soundtrack.

Re: VFR400 rebuild
I use alcantara. Maybe put some shitty old vinyl underneath to waterproof the sponge, then alcantara over the top for the non-slip

Re: VFR400 rebuild
Yes you can buy it in black. Get faux alcantara unless you're a moneybags. Real stuff can be about £40-50 a metre.

Re: VFR400 rebuild
got my lock set too this morning from china, for 22 quid its spot on, even if you only use the seat lock, well worth the money!
