ShawnR Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) I want to get the seat redone on my 87 Concours. Several of the seams have ripped out and my options are ebay a replacement (~$150+) or recover the existing one.Anyone have any recommendations or places to avoid?N. side of Cols or Delaware area would be great, but I can ship if the price is right.

conn-e-rot Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I've read good things about the Luimoto covers they are usually on ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallin Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Bikes 2 Envy does seat covering. Mostly custom stuff, but they might be able to set you up with a more traditional cover to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Brick Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I've recovered a few seats myself, it's not too hard. Waterproof vinyl is pretty cheap at craft stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up adding $100 to get a replacement Connie. It doesn't have near the class of the ST, but it will get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cOoTeR Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 My wifes old kawi 83 ltd had a rip in the seat that I patched with liquid electrical tape. Worked pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrown57 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 A guy I know took some material from a hobby store, cut it to wrap up under the seat and stapled it in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Fake vinyl gator and pop rivets, FTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnR Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I guess I would like to keep it nicer that the duct tape method. It is a Corbin seat and isn't totally trashed (yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
