Seat cover..

Post by tirebiter »

I've never been a fan of sliding all over the place on smooth seat covers, and since the wet season's upon us I decided to do something about it.
Picked up a 3 foot (54x36) piece of All sport 4way high-tac black upholstery material & went to work..

After sitting on it & riding around the block, it feels way grippier than the stocker.
I'll test it out next weekend in the mud & snow, see how it goes!

There's enough material in one yard for 3 seats, so it worked out to about 12 bucks plus staples for one.
The hi-tac only comes in black, the colored stuff's about as smooth as the stock cover..

What kind of tool bag is that on the KDX?. I'm looking for one and that looks like it.
Oh yeah, sweet bikes and great job on the seat.

It's the regular size.
