Smash your seat like an idiot

[xrocket21]

So you rip your sportbike seat, do you get a used one or try to get it recovered?

Anyone have one recovered one before? It isn't a straightforward single piece, it has a seam around the back and wraps under. What kinda cost we talkin about?

There is one mediocre seat on ebay for $100...

You can buy a new Sargent seat cover for about $80. You can customize it too.

recover. I've done a few myself and haven't been too hard. Get a factory seat cover or one fitted to that bike. A generic one fits all will not look so good or be so easy. OR spend the $ and get it recovered. Most area's have someone that can do it.

Recover. Depending on how fancy you want / need it to be you can get a "special" fitted cover or just get some pleather an do it yourself (mostly, may vary with how complicated your seat is).

Re-cover it yourself. I did mine and it cost me about $12 in materials. Provided you have a heavy duty staple gun its fairly simple.

There's a guy in Sandown N.h. that reshapes ans recovers seats at an affordable rate and does awesome work. He's done 5 seats for me in the last 12 years and no complaints. PM me if you want his contact info. The seat in the pic below is some of his work. The bottom pi is stock seat.

My buddy is making a seat cover for my bike right now. I'll post pics when I get it back.
