You're right, keep it out of the rain!

That shouldn't be too much of a problem as I still have the original. If it looks a little wet, that one will simply go back on.

I had a guy who specialises in custom work for classic vehilcles and bikes do the work, He's based in The Isle of Man in the UK.

He's posting it back to me in Sydney now.

Cost?
It's a one off, so there was quite a bit of work involved. The price reflected this, but I'm happy!!!

please tell me you didnt just cover it and you got some gel pads installed! it would be a shame to have such a nice looking seat not be as comfortable!

Actually, you know what? I've never really found the standard seat uncomfortable & when I head out, I can easily cover 250 klm's in a ride.

its the stock seat with a brand new leather & Alcantara hand stiched cover.
