Looking for a seat cover for an older bike!

[EarlyBird]

Hey Guys:

I have looked on google for a seat cover for my g/f's Seca II 600. I have found only a few options ranging from $70-$100 just for the seat cover. I think that is pretty pricey just to cover the old broken seat cover. If I could just get some weather proof vinyl material to make my own seat cover... that is cheap, but good quality.. Ill cover it myself! I havent looked local for material or at any shops that do that kind of work. I am looking for other options.... or any ideas from anyone would help...

Thanks guys!

How much is a seat on fleabay?

[EarlyBird]

$65 dollars plus 11 dollars to ship! Cheapest I have found so far.... just seems pricey!

The bike is a 94 yamaha seca II 600

Never mind, I just looked. 6 pages of stuff for that bike, but not a seat in sight.....

Some pics of the bike! I restored almost everything on it.... no perfect! But the seat is my last thing I am trying to get done before the weather gets better!

I would suggest going to a auto body shop or custom car shop and asking them to buy some vinyl or whatever. I'm sure they would have something that would work. I have a guy here local that recovers seats, but they aren't cheap. Look good and very comfortable, but expensive.

Mr. Brown..... same brick wall I ran into! Tons of parts, part nothing much for covering a seat! Thanks man for helping out!

[Mr Brown]

Bike looks real good. White seat cover would set it off....

She whats it black to off set the white! The whole bike was the color of the frame.....Yuck! White was picked to make her more visible and because I had it here at the house. I also painted the wheels black...from bare aluminum! I was trying to make the bike look cool for her, but not girled out! She agreed with that!

You hit the target! I was thinking the seat would look good white with blue (same as frame) piping, but that's just me....

[EarlyBird]

Black seat with white piping would look great too! Only issue I have with white seats is that they show dirt after a lot of use!

Indeed it would, and you are right about the dirt....

Try Ray Gollans Honda Suzuki they have a ton of older bike parts in stock and may have the cover. Their number is 330-369-3700 or you can take the seat to car upholstery shop and they'll make a new cover or you can take the seat cover off take the rivets or staples out and use the old seat cover as a templte to measure how much material you need and buy it online or at a fabric shop.

I had a seat cover made here in aus for exactly the same bike, my father used to ride one. cost me 150 aud. I think that it is worth the money to have things done right jm2c
