Seat Cover Vendor???
« on: July 01, 2010, 03:55:42 am »
I want to buy a new seat cover for my K8.  I need to know who makes a good OEM copy of the orginal cover.  I look around on the net and ebay and I can't tell if they're actually worth a damn.  TIA

I have had good luck with Saddleman seat covers.

Loud pipes suck.......

If you buy something.........pay for it !
If you sell something .......ship it !
If you say you are going to do something......do it !
If you have a question about something......ask it !
When the seller answers ........let him know whether you still want it or not !
If you receive something .....let the seller know you got it !
If you get something and are happy/un happy with it .....let the giver/seller know !
If you have any kind of issue,shipping/receiving/quality/price/shipping charges etc !
Communicate

I bought a K0 cover from gumtwo as well however his seams are sewn through the material where the oem one, at least on my K0 and K1's, are bonded or heat pressed. I'm not sure how to describe it. If you don't mind not looking totally like OEM it's a good cover. I bought another one from these guys http://cgi.ebay.ca/HONDA-CB750-SEAT-COVER-1969-1970-SAND-CAST-SANDCAST-/160449808136?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item255b8dc708  It looks like high quality stuff. I haven't had a chance to get it on the seat yet. Hopefully they have a cover for your model.
Cheers,
Cliff.
PS, K0 seatcover from gumtwo for sale.
