Seat Covers, Are they worth spending the money on?
« on: November 16, 2005, 04:01:35 PM »
Greetings,
I've been looking at seat covers online and wondering if they are worth buying or not?

I've been looking at Travelcade covers and that New Zealand guy on ebay. Anyone have experience with either of these suppliers?

Regards,

I have no experince with either of those, however I have used a seat cover I purchased off of e-bay for the last three seasons with no trouble at all. It fits the stock seat pan great, I purchased it from a guy using the name japanesebikes.

Two of my bikes had travelcade seat covers and they do fit snug and have good stitching.  Cheap alternative to a new seat or pro. re-uppholstering.  Im getting a new cover made and fitted by an uppholsterer and he's estimating 2 weeks and $150.  Itll look awesome tho.

I replaced the seat cover on my old Nighthawk with a travelcade seat cover. I was very happy with the results. I only kept the bike for abut two years after I switched the seat cover, but I never had so much as a stitch come loose in that time.

I highly recommend them.
