Seat Covers

[en4239]

so the seat on my 87 warrior is beyond cleaning to help it. its torn, faded and just looks like crap. anyone ever use a seat cover? the two options are to either buy a seat cover off ebay for $50 or go to an upholstery place and see how much they would charge to stitch a new cover on. I could buy a new seat but they are twice as much as a cover. so just wondering if anyone has used them and if they liked them or hated them

i am about to put a new cover on myself. i have read alot about this. i think the key to making it successful is heat, make sure the cover is nice and warm and use a heat gun when pulling it around the edges when it is close to being all the way on. the other tricky part is to fasten it with staples. not everyone has upholstery staples. i think with me, i will put the cover on and take it to an upholsterer to finalize it. not sure about that yet, but i wont jeopardize the cover if i cant do it myself. i figure 20-25 bucks at a bike shop or upholsterers will do it ... youtube has videos on it ...
