So after getting sick of smacking my man jewels on the tank and not feeling like i could really wrestle the bike as i wanted it i have recovered my seat.

Material came from Saxon seats and cost about £15 delivered. I went for the 'Weave' type.

Fitting was a simple case of getting my heavy duty staple gun and stretching the material over the seat and, with the help of an assistant keeping things tight, stapling away. Job done.

Took it out for a 2 hour ride and its made a huge difference. I feel much more in control of the bike and my nuts are happy.

I've left the pillion as i never take anyone on the back but for an extra fiver i could have got a piece of material large enough to do both.

Piccies of the finished item below.

Wow youve done a good job there!
Just for apperance I would of done the pillion seat to match the rider's seat but thats me
Looks good and keeps the jewels safe

I may do it in the near future. Just wanted to get the riders seat done asap.

Your Seed looks clean, anymore piccys?

A few, these are from before the seat was covered.

she's not quite mint yet. some of the graphics are not right, athough the panels are all original...







I've done a lot of work this winter bringing her up to standard. Wheels, tryes, brakes, chain, sprocket, forks etc etc.

Very nice! Not much missing.

Bit of red on the nose cone and upper sides and a grey strip along the seat unit. otherwise, yeah- its all there.

I love it!

Putting mine to shame at the minute!
